I'm married and I'm a mom of 2. I have an 11 year old, who will try and just about like anything and then there is my 9 year old who won't eat anything but plain, baked, grilled, or fried meat w/ bread and butter on the side. And then there's Eric, my hubby won't can't have anything high in calcium, phosphorus, or potassium, so cooking is quite a challege these days. I have cut out almost all meat from my diet and am working on the dairy. I want to eat things that are farm raised and meat that isn't injected w/ growth homrmones or antibiotics. So looking for recipes that is out of the ordinary, is fun and challenging. It's making me look at what I eat differently now. I love to bake! I just look at the recipes and want to make them all! I have started finding recipes w/o chocolate, since my hubby can't have it, so it's been fun. I think baking is so much fun, because everyone loves whatever you make and the fact that it is very presentable. Not so much a tradition but I'm definitely learning how to let the kids help. I want to do everything myself when it comes to the baking, but I also want them to share my passion! 6/08 Marshmellow Fondant! I was so proud of myself. I was very nervous at first, I just let the Fondant sit in the fridge for 3 days after I prepared it but w/ a little push and encouragement from my hubby we did it together and it came out great. ...Leaving blank for now, but I'm sure I'll have something to add!
