I'm a mother of a picky little eater. I LOVE to spend and have spent all day in the kitchen before just making, baking, cooking, and anything else similar. I like to see the impressions left by a wonderful bite of something magical! I'm getting really good at homestyle favorites. I like to try and recreate things that I've seen on a menu or had at a nice restaurant so that maybe I can just stay home for a wonderful meal. My Mom was a casserole machine. She always called them "_____ Surprise". I made a great mediterranean pasta salad for my particular boyfriend this summer. I also recently made some chicken enchiladas that were my own recipe. I can't bake that well no matter how hard I try. If I could conquer a double or triple layer cake successfully and it be moist and wonderful that would be a triumph!
