I'm a happily married working mom of 2. My son Adam is 11 and has Down Syndrome and my daughter Nikki is 10. Both kids love to help me cook. I love trying new recipes. I also have a large collection of cookbooks. My favorites are the ones with recipes submitted by real people cooking for their families. I got my love of cooking from my Mom who was a great cook but was a little afraid to experiment. Thanks Mom! My husband Garry encourages me every step of the way. (Probably because he likes to eat!) I love making and trying new appetizers. I also like cooking healthy kid-friendly meals for my family. Casseroles and one pot meals are probably among my faverites. Any meal I try something new and my family asks to have it again
