I am a happily married stay at home mom of 2 kids under the age of 2. I also have a work from home position with a healthcare agency in Massachusetts. When I have free time I am always reading cookbooks, trying new recipes, and feeding people! It's what I love to do! Italian dishes! My Mom is an exceptional cook. I know that I have a respect and love for cooking because of her. Our favorite foodie tradition is her extraordinary French Onion soup (from home made beef stock!) and a standing rib roast on Christams Eve. Everyone in the family looks forward to her dinners! I enjoy cooking for people and it is a treat for me to hear "that was great! is there more?". I especially love when a first go at a recipe turns out exactly right! My one great tragedy was adding garlic powder and cinnamon to Libby's canned fruit salad when I was 9 years old. Looked pretty and tasted pretty disgusting! I've learned since then!
