I was once an Early Childhood Education Director and College Instructor but am now staying home with my three children. I enjoy sewing, gardening, and spending time with my family playing games, crafting, riding bikes, etc... I love to cook just about anything from easy dishes to gourmet meals. Lately I have been spending alot of time making meals that my 2, 4, and 6 year olds can help me prepare which has been a real joy. I grew up without cooking traditions so it has been great to instill them in my family. We enjoy spending time in the kitchen together daily and I hope to help my children gain a love and interest in cooking through our experiences together and through my enthusiasm about cooking. I have won several awards at local fairs for my goods and my recipes and talents are always sought after for parties and other gatherings. I can not make a good no bake cookie to save my life. My husband who can barely boil water makes a great no bake and I just can't get them to turn out.
