I'm a 29 yr old stay at home mom of 2 boys, 7 and 9. I also have 2 Chihuahuas and stay very busy with sports and all. Cooking is my way to relax and vent a lot of times. It's also where my creativity comes out. I am mostly a very health conscious cook and try to cook healthy for my family, though I keep some sweets around too (cakes, cookies, etc.) I've been cooking since I was about 7 or 8 years old. I don't think I've ever been told that something doesn't taste good. I'm not sure of most of my personal recipes since they are thrown together by smell and by looking, but I will try to get actual recipes written down to share. I also sell Goji Juice in my spare time. Feel free to go to my website, http://cherylrainer.freelife.com, and check out the benefits it makes in your health and income. I love to bake cakes and things to decorate. I also enjoy cooking for a crowd though I don't get a chance to do so very often. Every Christmas we go crazy making every kind of Christmas cookie imaginable. There are usually about 12 dozen cookies running around easily. I don't think we've ever had one get left uneaten either! We also do a very large traditional Thanksgiving with Turkey, Gravy, Fruit Salad, Green Bean Casserole, Sweet Potato Casserole (my sister's is the best), Turkey and Dumplings, and much, much more. I grew up in a house of home made hockey puck biscuits. It took me until I was about 23 or so, but I finally mastered a very good and buttery biscuit. This is one of those things that I will try to figure out the exact amounts and post. I also won a baking contest one time for my chocolate cake. I don't remember the recipe. I was in 4th grade, but I was certainly proud of that ribbon and the $50 came in handy too! The first time I ever made scrambled eggs, I was cooking at a friend's house. I wanted to use vegetable oil like I always saw my mom do, but she insisted I use butter. Word to the wise, NEVER do this! It's disgusting! (If anyone out there does that, please forgive me but my experience was horrible.)
