I'm an army wife, mother of one and a native (who misses WA state badly) of the Great Northwest. I love trying new things and there never seems to be enough hours in the day to do everything that I want to get done. I especially love baking for friends and family. I really enjoy going all out for the different holidays and trying new recipes and having fun with it. I have a couple of recipes that have been handed down to me by my great grandmother and other family members. I teach my son how to cook so that he doesn't HAVE to depend on others....and yes, he LOVES to cook (he thinks he's the next great Emeril).
