I'm a girly girl. I love to shop, especially clothes and home decor. I usually have my nose in a book. Cooking is a joy, but I don't like complicated recipes where I have to chop more than a few ingredients. My fave things to cook are my most requested desserts:lemon squares and blonde brownies! I did most of the cooking in my childhood home after I turned 13, and we rarely went to restaurants. I always cooked lots of meat and poultry dishes for our family of five. After I married, I began to experiment with new recipes, and now I love cooking for the holidays. Today, I enjoy making flavorful foods with a healthy twist, and will bake for any reason at all! When my husband told his friends he LOVES my cooking and really meant it. When I was about twelve years old, I tried baking a cookie recipe that called for using 2 whole eggs. Not knowing any better, I threw in the eggs with the shells! I then served them to my school class the next day-they were quite crunchy, to say the least!
