I am a mother of 2 (soon to be three) and I love cooking for my family. I enjoy gardening but cooking is by far my most favorite hobby! I love making pasta dishes, mexican meals and soups. Recently I have started canning jams and will soon be canning soups. I love baking cheese cake, muffins, and cookies. Every Christmas I make chocolate fudge wreaths for friends and family. On birthdays, I always bake each family member's favorite dessert and let them choose the menu for their birthday dinner. I hosted a family gathering for Christmas 2 years ago and spent days preparing cheesecake tarts, cream puffs, turkey and all the trimmings (just to name a few), all while I was 6 months pregnant. The desserts turned out beautifully, I especially remember the cheesecake topped with rasberry sauce. Delicious! My first two years of cooking were very experimental. I remember burning a roast to a crisp. I ruined I don't know how many dinners. Luckily my husband was very understand during that time period. Now he's totally spoiled to gourmet cooking : )
