I'm a stay at home mom to 2 boys; 4 years and 6 months. We just moved to Colorado and so far we love it here! I love to bake, get outside, play with the kids, and keeping the TV off. :) I usually get into recipes that I myself will eat; I'm somewhat of a picky eater and I know the chef is required to eat their creations, right?! With that said, I love to bake because I have a major sweet tooth - yum! I definitely get into cooking for the holidays. I have many memories of my mom going all out, and it's a tradition I'd like my boys to remember too. I haven't gotten too creative yet. My biggest baking accomplishment of the year was my first apple pie (all from scratch) this last Thanksgiving. It was awesome! My biggest tragedy is frying; I am just awful at frying. I usually burn it, so I avoid it at all costs. If my hubby won't eat it (I don't have a dog) it will get trashed.
