I'm a mom of a toddler who will graduate with my bachelor's in Sociology in one more year. This summer I'm taking time off from school while my husband goes full time, so I'm a stay-at-home-mom for a little while and loving it! I use most of my free time to read, quilt, and hang out with other moms. Homemade spaghetti sauce, chili, soups and stews, anything in the crock pot, barbacoa pork salads, homemade salsa, ice cream, cookies, banana muffins, and anything I find a tasty recipe for! I've taught myself how to make some really delicious soups and stews. I'm also really good at throwing together great Italian food, but that's because of an old roommate I had who lived in Italy for a couple of years. When I was pregnant I was craving coffee cake, so I decided to make some. My big mistake was when I put it in too small a dish. After the timer went off I opened the oven door to find batter overflowing onto the bottom of my oven and all the racks. What a mess! I was so disappointed!
