I am Mom to two wonderful kids and wife to a great husband who, bless his heart, puts up with me! I teach the 4-year-old group at the preschool my daughter attends and my life right now is crazy and busy and I love it! I love to cook and bake almost anything, but most of what I cook and create has a healthful spin on it, as I am probably what you could consider a certified health-nut! I love to do recipe revamps and make our old favorites healthier! I also love to make bread from scratch and I am proud to say I have not bought one loaf of sandwich bread since last June! And as they say, practice DOES make perfect, and I've finally mastered the perfect loaf of bread (at least to my family's taste)! I loved cooking alongside my mom growing up (and still do actually!) and some of my favorite times in the kitchen are during the holidays when my mother and siblings and I (and our spouses) are all fighting for space in the kitchen together, cooking rich, delicious foods, and driving each other nuts at the same time :)! I always bake a great deal of cookies during the holidays which I give as gifts to family and friends each year. In the past a number of our friends and family, as well as my husband's co-workers, have asked whether or not I sell them or have thought about it. So this time, I decided to try it and was very successful!!! Everyone was very impressed by the 3-pound cookie platters, consisting of 13 different varieties of cookies and my homemade fudge! I can't make a nice-looking cupcake to save my life! Cakes just never rise the was I want them to, which is odd, because my muffins always come out awesome, and I rarely ever use a recipe for any muffin!
