I'm a mom. I work. I'm tired often. But my husband and I cherish family meals, so I work hard to have dinner on the table nightly. I love quick & easy recipes that taste good and are family-friendly, but also want some fancier fare, appetizers and main dishes, for when we entertain. We love Italian and your good ol' American meat-n-potatoes, but because of watching our wastelines, I'm always open to making these things in the healthiest fashion possible. My husband's mom is a very good cook and spent more time on that than cleaning. I'm good at cleaning, and fearful that I'll never live up to her cooking with my husband. :-) Got invited to be part of a cooking group. That's good. Quite a few. The turkey that just wouldn't cook at Thanksgiving stands out the most. Still can't figure out what happened with that one!
