I am a stay at home mom for the past 12 years. I work some as long it accomidates the kids schedule. I was brought up on dinner every night and grocery shopping at least once a week. I enjoy cooking b/c it free's your mind to create and concentrate on the task at hand. Most of my cooking is rustic italian style. I also enjoy cooking homemade mac and cheese, potatos and other comfort food. Every holiday is right here at my house with a well-planned out menu. We have family and friends sometimes and sometimes it is just us. I let guests bring wine, or desert. Most everything I cook comes out pretty good. My spagetti sauce is a favorite of my family and friends. I once made a tuna casserole ( I thought everyone should try this ). It came out awful. I never again tried to make it.
