I am a stay at home mother of one and I absolutely love cooking. I could do it all day and the first thing I want to do with it is take it to someone. My favorite things to cook is anything healthy since having gastric bypass surgery in May of 2005. I love making desserts as well. I try to make them healthy as possible or if its not I take to someone else. I don't really know of any favorite family cooking traditions. I have been married for almost 8 years and my husband has seen over the years my cooking get better and better. There were things in the beginning that I swore I would never try again that today are some of my husbands favorites. There have been a number of things I have made that have not been good at all, but that does not keep me from wanting to try something else.
