I'm a wife and mother of four girls (1997 and younger) and love to make new meals for my family. My two oldest daughters help in the kitchen very often. We eat semi-vegetarian & semi-healthy. I love to bake and I love to make vegetarian meals. I've really loved making things like pretzels and bagels lately, although I do use a bread machine for the dough. I loved when we would all get together and bake when I was growing up. Getting my daughters to think of a recipe as their own. I always wanted to make divinity from a teenager on. Problem was I would try to make it without a thermometer. That never went very well
