I have always enjoyed cooking, but really got into it about a year ago when I became a stay at home mom. I'm always up for trying new recipes and I am thrilled when I find something that my picky 3 year will eat! At least once a week, I sit down with a Cosmopolitan (or two), peruse the Allrecipes site and print out recipes I want to try soon. Love, love, love this website! My husband loves the Peanut Butter Temptation II cookies. My 10 year old and I have fun making them together and it's nice to have a special treat for Dad. My mom is a great cook and always had great meals for us. She inspires me to try new things and to enjoy my time in the kitchen. My mom's kitchen is still the gathering place of her home and just thinking of it brings back great memories. When I finally was able to make great home made bread! Banana bread with way, way too much sugar. Somehow ended up putting in 3 cups instead of 3/4 cups. Oops!!! It looked funny from the get go and didn't really bake very well (go figure). One bite and it was tossed in the trash.
