I am a mom of three (13, 6, and 4 months), working as a preschool music teacher and medical transcriptionist. My husband is a window and door installer for a local contractor. I cook ALL THE TIME - it's my only time to relax! Truffles, cakes, cookies, specialty desserts, decorated cakes for parties, any new recipe that looks good! My grandmother has always been a wonderful cook, and the family recipes are always handed down - we tend to repeat them for all of our family get-togethers. The family has grown considerably and our family time is less and less, so we cherish each one. Christmas Eve is our favorite - we all bring our favorite family dishes - potluck style! Chocolate chip cookie dough truffles - people ask me for these CONSTANTLY. Maple truffles, as well. I also found an excellent recipe on this site for a coffee cake made with cinnamon and crushed graham crackers - people went WILD for it. My grandmother's special fudge - to this day it still turns out like chewy soup.
