I was a young single mom who in late 2007(throughto present) has found myself in an amazing relationship with a man who has 4 kids...collectively we have 5 kids so cooking for me has taken on a whole new meaning (not to mention the amount of serving sizes!! yikes! hahaha. On an updated note,in June we are having a new addition to the family.... now we are a family of 8! WAHOO! I am outgoing, adventurous and known to make people smile and laugh. I love to help and try new things...always looking for new friends from all walks of life from all over the globe :) Baking --> Gingerbread cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, banana brea/muffins, pie Cooking--> I am a novice @ cooking but so far I have made a lasagne to feed 10 and shepherds pie (so easy) and steak (yummo) I also enjoy butter chicken My Mom's Cheesecake, a recipe that she got from my aunt.... I adore it and we only get it if we are lucky once a year.... I'd have to say cooking (anything)for 7+ because its a lot different than cooking for 2 or 1. In which case it would be my first lasagne (ever)on April 1 2008. My classic Sheperds pie which I am always altering ingredients and the first steak I made in March 2008. October 2008 made my first set of pies (all sugar free) which were a pumpkin and apple pie. The death by chocolate cupcakes I made for my dad....everything was from scratch and they were so hard you could break windows....the blue icing melted and looked gross....absolutly horrific but hilarious...my mom tried to eat one...when she dropped it on the plate I thought it was going to break....we laughed so hard we cried.
