I am a stay at home mommy of two beautiful children. My son is 4 and my daughter is 1. My days are filled with a thousand questions (literally), diapers and if I'm lucky, a nice glass of wine and a one-on-one dinner with my wonderful husband! My passion for cooking didn't really bite me until after my son was born. Now I am hooked! I love to find new recipes and try to tweak them to make the meal as healthy and flavorful as possible, and making everyone want to come back for more. (or ask me for the recipe!!) When I was younger, I liked to watch my father cook and can say I got my style (not to mention messiness from him). We both throw in a little of this or that. My problem is then re-creating the recipe again. I found allrecipes and it helped "save" me. I now make notes to myself about what I add to any recipe so I can once again re-create it!! I love to cook soups and stews. They are filling and can be so healthy. I'm going though a black bean soup and pimento cheese stage right now. Anytime my 4 year old son says "That's GREAT!!" There have been plenty. It's usually too salty or too spicy, but I'm a work-in-progress!!
