I am a stay at mom to three wonderful kids. Cooking to me, is like getting to the heart of my family! There is nothing better than to have my family around the kitchen table all "digging in" to a homecooked meal laughing and talking about their day. I love Easy, but still tasty meals that everyone will eat. Crock Pot recipes rank high in my house! But what I enjoy most is Baking! The month of December is like cookie central. I even have the mail man and garbage man knocking on my door for more cookies! Again, it has to be baking cookies for the holidays! I just love quiet (well not really quiet with 3 kids, but i like to dream)Saturday afternoons with Christmas music playing, the tree lit, and spending the whole day baking all our favorite cookies with the kids! yumm.. They are when I prepare a new recipe, and everyone, including my husband, all gobble it up! Thinking that i had become a great baker, my dad was away at school, and i decided to make him cookies. Somewhere along the way, something went wrong. the cookies kept spreading all over the cookie sheet.I thought maybe when they cool, the will form together. Meanwhile, Dad had told everyone about these great cookies that were coming! Everyone gathered around the box of "homecooking" and there they had it! A box of oatmeal crumble! They ended up putting it in bowls and adding milk! To this day, I still can't make an oatmeal cookie!
