Family of seven, so my time is limited in the kitchen. I love to cook and my husband loves to bake! We are both good "chef's", but with a family this large, we try and make meals that please everyone, avoid leftovers, and are quick and easy. We love our slow cooker and use it every thursday for our family dinner night (us plus up to 3 more guests). Cooking or baking, our family works together in the kitchen! We love appetizers as we are all munchers. I am Ukrainian, so we make a ton of traditional food. Aww, who wants to remember trying to burn the house down? Focus on the positive, not the negative. If it doesn't work, always have a box of macaroni or Lipton's Chicken Noodle soup in the pantry!
