I am a Mom of two delightful little boys and wife to a dandy hubby :) I have been cooking since second grade and love it. Baking not so much. I am a teacher of exceptional needs at the high school level. I also love glssblowing, making jewelry, and sewing. I unfortunately have very little time for these things but when I have a chance I do them. I love to cook food that makes my family happy which is normally things such as pot roast, lasagna, meatloaf, - home cooking type items. However in our little circle of the world I am known for my stuffed mushrooms - they are delicious! I think it would be talking with my Mom about how to cook stuff and learning how she made my favorite dishes as a child. I love passing that history along. My stuffed mushroom recipe is a big triumph. I was also extremely proud when I made my husbands Wild Turkeys and no one could believe they were wild because they were so moist and and tender. All too often when I try a new recipe I flub it up royally. I hate that - irritates me to no end. Or when I did perfect a recipe and I make it for friends and that is the night I get distracted by the kids and it burns.....now that is just ....UGHHHH :(
