I have 5 kids in all. 3 Bio and 2 Step. A multitude of picky eaters makes cooking stressful at times. I try to please everyone but I am not a short order cook either. I love to cook and bake but my favorites would be cooking large meals for family or baking cookies for my boys. I generally host majority of the holiday meals. Most of the time if anyone wants to have a gathering, I am the one who hosts the meal! I made an awesome turkey last Thanksgiving by brining it. Of course most of the recipes I make and get rave reviews always come from allrecipes! I still have problems with pie crust and mashed potatoes! I never like how my mashed potatoes turn out and my pie crusts are total fail.
