I am a mother of two. I have a 2 yr old son and mydaughter was born Dec 2008. I love to bake for people and to give them something sweet, indulgent and pretty. Sometimes I wish brownies and molten chocolate cakes really could make everyones problems go away... I love to embrace the southern hospitality I was raised with (in Mississippi) and let food warm peoples hearts and make them feel at home. I'm not a top chef but I loovvee to cook and if I can brighten anyone's day with something warm and gooey, I think I'd feel pretty accomplished :) I love LOVE to cook desserts, esp. cheesecakes and cakes. I love decorating cakes and making truffles nice and pretty. Homemade chicken noodle soup, white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, truffles, biscotti and strawberry cake. Well... if you must know.. the first time I made homemade pizza i wanted a thick crust and so i followed the recipe and added the sauce and cheese to my homemade dough... and ended up with a black cheese topping and gooey crusts! I know now to cook the pizza in a HOT oven, bake the crusts 10min and then add the topping, and using a pizza stone really makes it great!
