my name is crystal have two wonderful daughters, and a husband in the Marine Corps. I work at the Post Office so I spend most of my time there, but I also sell Pampered Chef, and love to do parties and help others discover what gret products we have. Thought it would save a lot of money to start baking bread/cookies from scratch. Next came all natural dinners so starting to have fun. I love to make cupcakes!!! Something about them just makes me so happy, takes me back to elementary school or something?? Every Christmas all the granddaughters on my mothers side get together to help my grandmother make tamales. our families christmas tradition. we usually make 3-4 hundred and freeze them two weeks before christmas. PS have to listen to Elvis Christmas while making!!! Making choclate chip cookies successfully on the first try!!! lol::: tried to make beef stew in the crock pot once, no recipe it was a disaster::: my two year old who will eat ANYTHING even asked me not to make it again!!!
