I love baking, but unfortunately the world cannot live on cake and cookies alone :) I love experimenting with soups and trying to replicate recipes for things I enjoy in restaurants. Christmas treats has always been a family tradition. Everything from cookies and candy to prime rib to breakfast treats and the traditional Christmas dinner. My husband hates repetition, so anytime I make something he wants again within a week, I consider it a triumph. When I moved into our first house, I burnt nearly everything I cooked in the oven, come to find out the oven was cooking 55 degrees hotter than what it said!
