I am the mother/stepmother of three teenagers! I have a son-16, daughter-14, and my husband of 2 years has a daughter who is now 17. My husband and I are both elementary school teachers. We have very busy lives but I try to make time to cook a really good sit-down dinner for us at least three times a week. It's a challenge, so I really appreciate the quick/easy recipes and the slow-cooker recipes I've found on this site. When I have time (whenever that is!) I love to bake. About a year ago I made my first cheesecake and have been going crazy with cheesecakes since then. I like to try new cake recipes of all kinds. I also enjoy cooking just about all types of foods. I am a vegetarian, but I cook meat for the rest of the family. I like to use slow-cooker recipes that I can prepare in the morning and have ready when I come home from work. The "Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast" recipe on here is one of my family's favorites. I also substitute round steak for the roast a lot of the time. My husband can't get enough of that.
