I'm a working mother and wife with 2 children. I work at our local school district as an administrative assistant for human resources. I love to cook Italian food which is my daughter's favorite. She's a college student living at home. Even though she's not home a lot, she makes sure to be here when Italian food is on the menu! My son and husband enjoy Mexican food. Fry bread tacos are a favorite for them. I enjoy any type of food and enjoy cooking on the weekends when I have more time to experiment. I love making Christmas cookies for my extended family. My own crew aren't big sweet eaters, so it's fun to make different bars and cookies to show off my baking side. My mom, twin sister and I used to make cookies together so it's great when my kids bake with me. My daughter has become quite the baker herself and has requests from her co-workers to make cheesecake and Mississippi mud bars for them. I'd say one of my triumphs was making a ham for Easter Sunday for my husband's side of the family. My brother-in-law doesn't care for ham but says he'd eat mine any day. He proved it by having 3 helpings! Also, any meal is a triumph when everyone practically licks their plates clean and go back for more. It would be nice if that happened all the time! Yes, I actually mixed up the salt and sugar when I was younger. I'd baked up a small cake for my family and wondered why their faces puckered when they tried it. My mom was so funny. She gently explained what I had done wrong and said she had done it herself so I wouldn't feel too bad.
