I am 30 years old and a mother of one daughter who is eleven. I was a single parent for five years and have now been married for four years to a wonderful man from England who gave up everything to relocate to canada to be with my daughter and I. I work two jobs but always find time to cook and experiment with my own recipes. I love to bake fancy pastries and other baked goods. I always take a taste but rely on my family to eat it and give me reviews. I love to cook everything and anything! I love getting out the christmas goodies recipes and planning what we are going to make every year. My daughter and I have made a tradition of this and i look forward to it every year. In an attempt to save money at our wedding reception we decided that I would do the lunch along with help from my mom and a few friends. I managed to plan, cook and lay out a beautiful spread buffet style and was asked all night who catered the event. When I told them that I did, they asked me to do theirs as well. Maybe someday I will take on that venture but not just yet. I was in charge of bringing the pie to Thanksgiving at my brother's this year, so I made a beautiful deep=dish apple crumble pie. The pastry was made from scratch and there was at least 12 apple in it, golden crumble topping, it was absolutely gorgeous and smelled wonderful baking in the oven. I was on my way out the door, to go to my brother's, hot pie in hand when i dropped it! It was ruined! and no time to bake another.
