I am married and have 2 boys, ages 3 and 5. They are a handful and keep me on my toes all the time and leave me very little time for meal preparation. Just recently I really started enjoy cooking and learning new things. I like cooking but I don't feel like I am very good at it...YET! Kid friendly meals are my top priority. Slow cooker, pasta dishes and grilling are popular in my house because they are typically quick and easy dishes with little prep and clean up which allows me more time for my family. When I try something new and it turns out good the first time, usually it takes me making something more than once before I think it turned out well. Um...there are about a million.
