Mom of three~two athletes,one studious who is studying German, and French in high school:) ~ wonderful husband, surviving Minnesota winters, love gardening and watching my children perform (Gymnastics & Lacrosse), also love bird watching/feeding, and my pets-four cats and an African Grey, have wonderful brothers and sister in law (great cook!) and niece and nephew ~ I am truly blessed! Baking...cookies,pastry,bread,pies. I almost never use full fat ingredients when I can substitute 'light' with the same results. Love French food, but only attempt it sometimes, because I am a better baker than cook. Make cinnamon rolls & grandma's dinner rolls for holidays. Make German food and Puerto Rican rice for my husband who is half and half-German and Puerto Rican. Thanksgiving dinner for 21 people, everything home-made.:) Too many to remember :)
