Happily married for 8 years and I love to cook for me and my hubby. He is my "guinea pig" when making new dishes. I usually cook 6 days a week. I make him take me out one night a week just to get a break from the kitchen. I dont have any children but I do have a little silky terrior named Gilligan, he's 7, (does that count as children). I like to cook italian dishes, BBQ on the grill and I like to bake cookies as well. I like to try appetizer recipes !!! Every Fall I cook pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread I LOVE FALL Lots of them, but not ready for the Food Network just yet. Now why would I put that in writing for the world to read???
