my mother taught me to cook at a very young age, she was a professional, I am a baker of desserts and breads by heart, I have 3 chridren of my own and 2 step-children that I raised and are mine too now and I have 9 grandkids... we have lots of big family dinners and outtings... I love to try new recipes inbetween my hobbies, I am a jewerly designer and maker as well as I have many crafts that I have done for years, but i have a passion for cooking I cook or bake all kids of desserts... yum, yum...I love mexican food and italian too ( really love all cuisines..lol) Every special occassion or holiday I make haomemade goodies handed down from my mother...even my sisters want me to make them for their family affairs ( they are not bakers, say they don't have the patience)
