I was recently married in June 2006. My husband and I live near the water so we are always boating, wakeboarding or water-skiing during the summer. In the winter, my new hobby is cooking. My husband loves to eat and I'm the one he runs to when he's hungry. I was never really taught how to cook, so I decided that I have to teach myself. I love it! I love that I can put a twist on dishes to make it taste the way I want it to taste. So far... banana bread, casseroles, anything made in a slow cooker. I made French Dip sandwiches in a slow cooker. We invited our friends over and they totally love it! I was so proud of myself for trying something new and it being a success! None so far. I try to find out exactly what the ingredient is before I add it to my dish
