I have a small family consisting of my husband, 17 year old son, 8 year old daughter and myself. I always seem to be looking for new recipes so that we don't get burned out on the "favorites" we've been making for years. I love to cook just about anything and the fam loves to eat. Probably the summer BBQs and fish fries at the lake. yum I've never been much of a baker but with my daughter being 8, I've started doing more baking on the weekends. It's a fun way for us to spend some one on one time together. When I was just starting to cook, I put a roast in the crock pot before work and forgot to add water to it. It cooked down to a charcoal briquette about a third the original size. LOL the dog wouldn't even eat it.
