I'm a homeschooling mom of 4 and have been cooking since I was a child. I love cooking new things and finding healthy recipes for my family. I also love to bake and just recently got into baking fresh bread. It's so hard to find store bought bread without high fructose corn syrup (possible, but hard). My family always bakes goodies for Christmas. I also grew up eating my grandmother's home cooking from her garden and pasture. I really miss those meals! Anytime I find a recipe that is healthy that my kids will eat is a triumph! When I was a teenager, my mother was a single mom who worked, so I did a lot of the cooking. However, I didn't really know what I was doing so I would just grab this and that and attempt a meal. Sometimes we could eat it, sometimes not:) But now I can grab things (without any measuring) and throw them together and it taste pretty good. So out of tragedies comes triumphs!
