I am the mother of three boys--makes for a busy house hold. I also work in retail and enjoy the people. Being in the kitchen is for me completely relaxing. I find it peaceful. I don't think I have a favorite--I love to try new recipes. Prime rib on Christmas. And a hot dip for the football linemen when my son played. The one that comes to mind is a snack mix I make in the Fall--Abunch of good stuff goes in it and it makes a TON. I put it in the large tupperware bowl and stored it in the oven-forgot about it when I preheated the oven-melted the whole thing wow what a mess
