Mom of four school aged kids and godmother to 2yr old twins which I babysit during the week. Avoiding packaged foods and msg like the plague. Always try to cook from scratch and to experiment with what I have on hand. Good at making substitutions and many times cook without measuring. Like to try to alter recipes to a healthier version. Would like to open a take and bake homecooked meals place. anything that makes people say yummy and give me the recipe Christmas cookies (Mother in law owns a cookie company) turing "normal" recipes into crockpot recipes and having them taste and look just the same split pea soup it took me about a dozen tries to get it right and now after 15 years of marriage my hubby will actually eat it when i make it
