My husband and I have been married for 10 years. I love to try all kinds of new dishes and some that my mom used to make. Whenever we throw a party or go to one, I always try and bring an unusual and exciting appetizer or dessert. I also love entertaining. I am a child care provider in my home, so I have the time to experiment with different recipes. Pies, cakes, anything chocolate, breads. I love making everything from scratch. Growing up my mom made basic dinners, meatloaf, pork chops, chicken. I like to make some of the same things she did but add a twist to them. Christmas dinners for 16, and everything is ready at the same time. My King Cake for Mardi Gras dinner. After waiting for the cake to rise, when I removed the bowl from the center to bake it, it fell. It also wound up in the trash!!
