We have a small 'farm' with 5 goats, a pig, quiet a few chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and pit bulls. My children and family love to cook with me. We make up our own recipes and experiment with new ingredients. We are working on our garden =) I love making cakes. They always get a lot of compliments. Unfortunatly I like to eat them as well as cook them =) It isn't very often you will find only one person in the kitchen cooking. I like that family feeling in the kitchen. Teaching my children that home cooked food is easy to make, tastes better and is better for you is my greatest cooking triumph. I used bad crisco in a butter cream frosting and it ruined the whole cake. It was discusting!
