I live in Tucson AZ with my husband of 37 years. I work full time so all recipes is a great resource for last minute inspirations. I see the woman on the food network talking about semi homemade. "well honey I've been doing that for over 30 years. If it's not semi homemade I rarely do it." I love to bake. I bake a great carrot cake it weighs about 3 pounds when I am done. I love to cook for other people. So I do some catering on the side. Not so much traditions but Thanksgiving and Christmas is always special I catered orderves to about 100 people for a scholorship reception. It was great. To many to count. started when I first got married I had been cooking for my family for years but I never learned how to fry an egg. Boy my husband got a baptism of fire until I learned how.
