I am a single mom of two wonderful children - ages 6 and 12. I have a great boyfriend, who loves to eat whatever I cook for him, so he is my guinea pig!! My favorite past times are being outdoors, cooking, reading, hanging out with my kids and being creative. :-) I also enjoy coming here and adding recipes to my recipe box, which has gotten out of control!! I need to quit adding recipes and get busy cooking them!!! I love to bake. So cookies, cakes and pies. Those are probably my favorite things to eat too!! And I love to make soups in the winter!! Cookies, cookies and more cookies at Christmas! This past Easter I put together a menu and prepared everything on it for 7 adults........garlic cheese grits, fresh green beans and bacon, cranberry spinach salad, rolls, caramel crunch apple pie and a peanut butter ice cream pie!! (okay I ordered the ham!!) This was a first for me and I was a nervous wreck. Everything turned out great and was ready at the same time and warm even!! Plus, I got rave reviews on more than 1 of the dishes. :-) Nothing too horrible - I was making glazed pecans (the second batch as my boyfriend & I had eaten most of the first that was for company!) and I added 1 tbsp. of salt instead of 1 tsp. to the "glaze" mixture - needless to say those got thrown away! YUCK!!! Also - the apple enchiladas from this site were pretty pathetic! YUCK AGAIN!!
