I am a mom to two beautiful girls, one who will eat anything and one who won't eat anything. I teach art to grades K-8. I'm really not the greatest at cooking but I'm trying to learn. I know I won't ever be the world's greatest chef but as long as my kids will eat it I'm happy. I absolutely love to bake! Breads, cakes, pies, brownies, anything you can put in the oven is for me. Christmas time is the best. We always make a ton of different cookies and candies and give them away as gifts. My daughters love to do all the decorating on the sugar cookie cut-outs. It's nice to spend time with each other decorating cookies around the table. One year I decided to make three different kinds of rolls from scratch for Thanksgiving. Each one turned out beautifully and my brother swore he would never eat store bought rolls again. I tried to make carrot pancakes once (they looked so yummy in the picture) and once my girls and I tried them we had to throw them out because they were so awful.
