I'm a mommy of 5 kids 8 and under. I love to cook and so does my hubby. We love to try all kinds of new dishes and cooking methods. We love variety and are learning to use leftovers Pasta, casseroles, side dishes I love to cook with my daughter. She and I put on our aprons and pretend the rest of the house is quiet. Baking Anything fancy. I don't have the "flare" and beauty in my cooking that some do. I like it to taste great and have a lot of it but if you have to have it pleasing to the eye...I'm not your cook. (we're lucky to have cups and napkins on the table half the time!)
