I was born and raised in Buffalo. I've lived there all my life until last year when I moved to Williamsville(Suburb) of Buffalo a few miles away)I have been cooking since I was 7 years old. I am 38. I think of all things in the world to do, cooking would be my favorite pass time. I cook EVERYDAY! I have three boys 17, 12, and 11. My husband calls me from work everyday and says"What's for dinner" He doesn't even like to go out to eat; he enjoys my cooking so much. My dream is to open a diner one day. I love to cook all foods. I really enjoy making homemade pizza. I love to BBQ all year round(snow doesn't matter) I myself don't eat sweets (never liked them) but I love to make homemade pies, cookies and cakes. My husband has three brothers and one sister. When their mother died they started the Thanksgiving tradition. Every year one of them hosts Thanksgiving and cooks all the food for the entire family. They started the tradition in November of 99. So this will be the tenth year. Well 2009 its our turn to host. I must say everyone is excited because they love to come to our house. Including my sons and husband their is 18 people to cook for. They love my dessert table. They are all sweetooths so I really go over the top for them. Two huge turkeys and two huge hams plus trimmings. I can't wait I made a 7 layer cake that served 200 people. This was for a 4th of July picnic. No one could believe it. NONE
