I am a wife and mother of 2 little girls, ages 8 and 1 1/2, and soon will be adding a little boy to the mix in April of 2008! My 8 year old is Rilee, and my 1 1/2 year old is Piper. We have not named the little guy yet! I work full time in an office, but am hoping to go back to school full time and finally get my degree soon. Mexican, and any kind of baked goods. I do not like to saute, but am getting better now that I have an electric wok! My husband is also a good cook. He prefers to cook healthy dishes, and I love the down home cookin'! I love my mother's ham and beans, giblet gravy at Thanksgiving, and beef stroganoff. My dad makes the best spaghetti and meatballs and homemade chili I have ever tasted. Every year my mom slow cooks BBQ meatballs for our Christmas dinner. No one will eat until she gets there with those! I rocked out chicken picatta the first time I made it. VERY YUMMY and super easy! I also make pretty decent chili, chicken noodle soup, cheese soup and tacos/burritos. I am looking forward to baking more. A lot. I just recently started following recipes. I spent many years doing the trial and error thing. Which is fine if you don't have kids, but I need to count on my cooking now. I also had to learn not to try something new the night you are having company. That's something I will pass on to my daughters so they don't make the same mistake!
