I am an over-committed working Mom with two very active kids and an equally over-commmitted hubby. I am interested in eating "in" more, eating more healthy foods, and growing our own foods as a family that is in a hurry all the time. I recently joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) to encourage myself to cook new things, and to get my whole family to eat new things. The fact that the food is organic, and I got them to add my place of employment as the drop off spot, is a bonus. I really enjoy the challenge of figuring out what to do with the new leafy green thing that showed up this week! I had to start a blog here (called What's In The Box) to help myself to remember what I do with the stuff. I love baking with my kids at the holidays. However, I am not a great baker. I can do pies and cakes. I am not so good at pastries or even cookies. I think this has to do with my impatient nature. My baking is improving steadily and my cake decorating is becoming a passion. Even my eight-year old son now likes this, thanks to the TV program "Ace of Cakes" where they make Star Wars and Army helicopter cakes. Too much experimentation and short-cutting has led to too many unhappy endings to list here!
