I work full time during the week and love to spend my weekends baking and planing out new meal ideas. Anything sweet! I started to get into cooking a few years ago by making homemade candies for people around the holidays. Since then I've branched out and I like to cook anything that brings a smile to my husband's face. Every year I like to invite my family and my husband's family over to our house right around Christmas time to see all the festive decorations. We always pop a bottle of champagne, and I serve up some delicious hors d'oeuvres. My biggest cooking triumph is when I finally learned how to make homemade sandwich bread from scratch. One time I tried to make mayonnaise from scratch on a very hot day. The air conditioner was broken, and the kitchen was vary warm, so when I blended up the ingredients it just turned into a gloppy gross mess.
