Mother of six children and I work in campus ministry and part time as a volunteer hospice counselor. Any king of desserts,breads, creative casserole dishes. Favorite type of cooking: Italian meals. Baking has been handed down to me from my Grandmother. Our home always smelled so great because she baked everything from scrap and always without a recipe. I can still remember those smells today. First Cheesecake that I ever made looked like the kind you see in magazines.
