My husband and I have one child. We both work full-time jobs, my husband's is more demanding physically and mine has more emotional baggage, so we try to live by the "work hard, play hard" philosophy! I like to put effort into even everyday meals, but my favorite recipes are those that seems like it took a lot more effort and time than it really did to make! I helped my mom with cooking. My daughter is starting to help me. I hope the later payoff for her will be cooking experience, confidence in the kitchen, and good memories.
