I am a professional chef. I am also a wife and mother. My husband and I have been married for 4 years, we have a very busy (and naughty) 2 year old little boy! I work in an upscale fine dining restaurant but the boys at home are picky eaters! Well, except for my 65 lb. lap dog Elvis (the basset hound), he loves all of my creations! These days I like easy, quick and crock pot. Luckily, my husband will eat leftovers. I cook Thanksgiving for my husband, son, parents, my Grandmother, and my husband's parents. I made my son's babyfood and now I stock my freezer with ready to thaw meals. I make a mean banana bread. I haven't the time to try anything particularly challenging as my son runs around the house and torments the dog when I am not looking.
