I am a mother of 3 boys, ages 8 months, 6 years, and 8 years. I have been married 3 years, and love every minute of it. I stay very busy, between work, kids, and getting food on the table, but always insist on having a home-cooked meal. I love cooking for my family, and getting their feedback as to how I can make it better next time. I love to cook bread, candies, and I try to find new recipes for other things all the time. To be honest, the majority of my family can't cook worth a lick. It's amazing my siblings and I have such a knack for it. The only traditions we carry are during the holidays, really. Mastering the whole bread baking technique was quite a triumph, I couldnt figure out for the longest time why my bread was turning out dense and the crust was sooooooo hard and thick. After much research, I get soft, fluffly loaves, every time. I've never really had a cooking tragedy yet. Just learning experiences.
