I'm a Grad student, wife and mom. I heart cooking, but rarely have the time or energy for it. My four year old is not a particularly finicky eater, but getting her to try new things is a massive effort. Come to think of it, my 32 year old husband is the same.... Spinach and artichoke dip, creamed spinach (i know! weird huh, but my daughter will actually eat it), artichoke and tomato chicken, and pretty much anything in a slow cooker. Thanksgiving dinner.....I kick everyone out of the kitchen and make everything myself. Even homemade pies. I also enjoy baking cookies (hundreds of them) around the holidays....its one of the few traditions from my step-mom that I do. figuring out how to make my own pie crusts. First time was truly a challenge. Also finding food that my whole family likes. Baked tomato and artichoke and something salmon....disaster. Enough said.
