I am a mom of 4 kids, married since 1990. I was able to be a stay at home mom for about 5 years, then I went back to school and became a nurse. My kids are growing up, and even though I work full time and continue my education, I try to cook healthy, homemade, economical food. My husband (he's a nurse too!) and I both enjoy cooking and like to try new things, and we want to pass this on to our children. We all need to eat and cooking and eating together is a wonderful experience! I like to try new things, well balanced seasonings, rich flavors, variety! Christmas cookies, banana bread, cooking with my kids and passing on knowledge about healthy, delicious food cooked from scratch. Grilling is becoming a favorite method now, especially since the kids are more willing to try spicy stuff!
