I am a wife and mother of two grown boys. I love to cook and bake. I have been cooking since I was a child. I learned the most from my Grandma who is from Italy, and my mom. My favorite things to cook are Italian, Indian(middle-eastern), Mexican and anything that's in season. I have remade many recipes with whole foods and healthy fats with great results. Making big pasta meals and Italian deserts, they require alot less sugar. Since I am always looking for new ideas, I love taking a favorite dish of a family member or friend and making it for them. I have done this for my husband with many dishes but the one that sticks out is your basic hambuger and for my son it would be gouda stuffed meatballs. For the life of me I can not make yeast bread, it always turns out to heavy.
