I am a sailors wife and a stay at home mom. My children are 5 and 3. I used to be a dental assistant. I love to cook for the sailors and marines who live in community housing (barracks) and anyone else who likes to eat. Give me a reason to cook, just one, I don't care what it is. I love making family recipes including schnitzel, refried beans and rice, and ribs. I absolutley love baking and am forever creating funky yet delicious concoctions that come to me in periods of sleeplessness. I really love cooking and baking with my mother. Anytime we are together we teach each other something we recently learned to make. Anytime I have a chance I pick my Oma's (gma) brain for old world german recipes. I make a mean psuedo-schwarma that tastes suprisingly authentic. I once made a cake and forgot the sugar...I was about 13 years old at the time.
