I am 45, with an 8 yr old daughter recently divorced and married to a really great guy who also loves to cook. I just wish I had the kind of kitchen to cook in!!! I love to make Chili, Stir Fry, just about anything. I just hate cleaning up!! Making christmas cookies between Thanksgiving and Christmas when I was younger. Enjoy planning and cooking along with my mother. (who is a fantastic cook - but so is my new hubby!) winning honorable mention in a girl scout cake contest. too many, I tend to burn stuff on the stove top!
