I'm married to the most wonderful man alive. Becoming a mom has been then greatest job I could have ever imagined. I love my life, family, and dog (my other baby). I enjoy making things that taste really good. Staying at home has given me more time to bake, which is not only fun, but therapeutic. We end up giving a lot of it away though. Goodies are good in your belly, but not for your belly :) Troy is the "baked goods guy" at work. He is very well liked, lol. Cooking is not so much about the challenge, but more so a great outcome. I love to make my family their favorite meals for their birthdays. Getting my former picky eater hubby (he's a straight up meat and potatoes guy) to not only eat his veggies, but actually like them. That was HUGE! I was making baked chicken with artichokes, and I didn't have the right type of wine. So I just used what I had. Needless to say the sauce came out tasty, but very purple. Not so pretty to look at.
