I'm married to a great guy and the mother of 3 boys and 1 girl, my oldest is 20 my youngest is 3. I taught Family and Consumer Sciences (Home Economics) at the High School level until my daughter was born and have been a homemaker ever since. My husband began his general contracting business while I was pregnant, so I help him when possible especially with the "office" kinds of stuff. I have been cooking since I was really young. I am the daughter of a Home Economist who believed kids belong in the kitchen and made cooking fun and interesting, a favorite activity to do with my mother all growing up. I do the same with my children! I would love to open my own little cafe/restaurant someday.
My favorite things to cook
I love to make desserts of all kinds, breads, and homemade soups and noodles. There really isn't anything that I have found that I don't like to cook/bake/mix up...I do love the baked goods things the most though, but I would have to say EVERYTHING is my favorite thing to cook!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family spent many hours together having "fun" with cooking. When I was little bitty (my earliest memories that I have from childhood, when I was 2 or 3, I remember helping my mother make and decorate Christmas cookies. A tradition I have carried on with my children and sometims Grandma comes to help!
