I'm a 37 yo sahm of 3, and I love spending time in the kitchen trying new recipes. I am not a gourmet cook, nor do I aspire to be -- I just love food, cooking, holidays, and the traditions that go with them. I am a HUGE casserole fan! My favorite of all time is the classic tuna casserole. I also love baking, but only simple things like cookies, bars, brownies, and so on. Every time I try a cake it falls apart, so I guess that's just not my forte! I also love salads of all kinds: simple green ones, fancy main dish salads, pasta salads, rice salads, fruit salads,you name it -- I love to create (and eat!) them! Every Christmas, we make tons of sugar cookies with the kids. We smother them with cream cheese icing and let the kids go crazy with the Christmas color sprinkles. Also, every fall I make my famous pumpkin bars (with homemade cream cheese frosting). I bring those to every fall potluck and party and they are always a hit. My pumpkin bars w/ cream cheese frosting -- I haven't met the person who doesn't think they are to die for! Well, sadly -- I can't bake even a simple cake from a box without it collapsing...and my icing never looks pretty, it always looks like a preschooler did it!
