I am a SAHM to two wonderful boys, 12 years and 4 years. I am married to a great man who is also a great cook. I love baking. I also cook other things, but baking is my first love. I enjoy using recipes that my grandmothers taught me as well as recipes from my mother and father. It brings back wonderful memories when I serve something that has been in my family for generations. My favorite memory of cooking is the very first time I "cooked". I made a wonderful (to me)soup. I was 5. It had water, sliced hot dogs and carrots. My parents ate every bite. That is when I realized that I could make things that people would really eat. I have to really thank my parents for eating that, but it did make me enjoy cooking. I would have to say that my first tragedy, was my attempt at a souffle. It didnt fall, it didnt do anything. I forgot to turn the oven on. I then had to figure out something else on the fly.
