My name is Amanda. I am a stay at home mom, with 2 beautiful girls and a wonderful husband. I grew up in the kitchen with my mother and grandmother. Always there to lend a hand. Now I have my own kitchen where I love whipping up new meals. My all time favorite dinner to make is a good Beef Chuck Roast, with potatos, carrots, onions, and cabbage. It's delicous and tender. My favorite dessert to make is my very own Famous Apple Pie. I can't forget Eggrolls. Umm...I'm hungry. Passing of the recipes. Whenever a child moves from home Mom would give them the parting gift of a recipe box filled our favorite recipe's she would make. Homemade noodles for homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. That took a few tries to accomplish. When I was young, about 13 - 14 yrs, I was making Brownies and totally messed it up. I put 1 1/2 cups oil and 1/2 cup water when it should have been the other way around. It came out like chocolate soup. It was however very delicious. We ate it with a spoon. My Step-Mom still talks about it.
