I've been married since 2003, and have 2 beautiful kids: a boy born June of 2005 and a girl born Dec of 2007. We live out in the boonies, outside of a small town. I'm trying to improve my cooking as well as trying new recipes constantly. Anything that is fairly simple, and new things. I love my slow cooker, I use it as much as 3 times a week sometimes. I go through phases where a bake quite a bit, even though I don't eat any of it, lol. I love baking around the holidays...our family was and still is very food oriented for any special occasion. Blueberry pie, completely from scratch...it was gone in a couple of hours and hardly seemed worth it, lol. I love it when I can try something new and have it be a delicious success. There once was a time I couldn't cook spaghetti. Thankfully I can say that's changed.
