I love good food, good friends, and good times. I live for my children. I am a former police officer, who now stays home and takes care of my 4 kids. I love to bake desserts, especially for the holidays. Every year I get asked to bring the desserts to any gatherings. I also love to try new recipes. About the only family cooking tradition that my family has is, teaching the next generation how to make "Chocolate Gravy". It is a special treat that we enjoy with biscuits. I don't really have any triumps, except not burning down my kitchen. Yet, anyway. None that come to mind right off the bat.
