I own a women's only fitness center and I love food! Hey, that's why I have to workout! I started cooking when my brother's second child was born and I wanted to bring them some food. That's when I discovered allrecipes and it's just spiraled from there! My husband and son have gotten used to trying something different for almost every meal! I love to bake and I love dessert. Cookies and quick breads are my favorite and I go crazy during the holidays! I also enjoy using the slow cooker because it's so simple. My sister and I bake cookies and bread every year at Christmas. It's something I always look forward to and we always laugh a ton! Even when things don't come out perfect, we have a great time! I have been terrified of making bread with yeast. It just seemed too easy to mess up. But I've been trying it and having great success, so I'm pretty excited about that! Hmmmm - blowing up marshmallow cream in the microwave when making rice crispie treats! That's not fun to clean up!
