I am a mother of three boys. So when i get the chance to cook i do. Anything my kids can help me with, they love to help making my cookies. Being with family and cooking together. I made a beef stew the first time i ever made one, we had a good friend over and he told us beef stew was his moms specialty and he said mine was the best he has ever tasted. The first time i tried to bake cookies i forgot the oat meal and my cookies was real runny. my husband has never let that down.
