I have been cooking since I was a teenager. I was married for 21 years with two kids that were involved in every sport you can think of so I did alot of quick meals. Since my divorce I met a man that LOVES to cook and try new recipes. We love to cook together and eat together....maybe thats why we both have gained 20 pounds in the last 4 years. Fat and happy!! I love to cook Italian and Mexican. Every year my sisters and I spend a whole day cooking Chritmas and Thanksgiving dinner together. When I finally made my sisters pecan pie the right way. The first time I made my sisters pecan pie, it was so hard my father literally used it as a hammer!
