Uh-oh, this Recipe Box appears empty and hungry! Have you fed

I'm married ten years to a wonderful guy and we have two little boys, ages 6 and 4. The four-year-old basically lives on bread, cheese, pasta and fruit snacks (sigh) but the six-year-old will try ANYTHING...absolutely anything.
My favorite things to cook
Most of all I love to bake...cookies, cupcakes, cakes, cheesecakes...all of it! Any meal that goes in the slow cooker is also at the top of my list.
I'm still searching for a really thin, crispy pizza crust recipe and I love to make Mexican food, too :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Waking up to the smell of the turkey roasting on Thanksgiving and the celery and onions sauteing before they were added to the stuffing mixture. And walking into my grandma's house and always smelling something good cooking!
My cooking triumphs
My husband LOVES my oatmeal cookies. I adapted a recipe I found in the newspaper and came up with really thin, crispy oatmeal cookies. His face lights up every time he comes home to them!
My cooking tragedies
Cooking a roast in the oven. I have success with roasts in the crock pot but I can't seem to get it right in the oven. Maybe someday...
