Wife of 19 years and mother of 3 great kids (hubby is pretty great, too)! I LOVE to bake most of all. Cooking is more fun when I have the time-usually dinner is quick and easy meals. Family gatherings have always centered around a great meal. Biggest tradition is the baking of Christmas cookies to give and eat!! I just love it when a meal comes together and tastes great. Even after cooking for 19 years that doesn't always happen. It's all about the LOVE you put into it! We were having some good friends over for dessert and I decided to try something new-Earthquake Cake. It was supposed to be gooey and chocolately and make it's own fudgy sauce. Instead it tasted like raw/uncooked batter (and not the good kind). We ended up scraping our plates into the trash-thank goodness they were good friends!!
