I have a wonderful husband; three boys, 21, 17, and 13. I adopted my thirteen year old from foster care and love him very much. The furry members of my family are four cats and a dog. My 17 year old is a Senior this year in High School and an aspiring baseball player. I like to cook something different and try new things. I love Italian food. I am German and my parents wore me out with German food growing up. Sauerkraut once in a while is okay but not too much. My Aunt Mae used to make these big fluffy sugar cookies at Christmas time and I have never found anyone who could make them like her or found a recipe that could top hers. She would make hundreds of these cookies for Christmas and freeze them. They were as good thawed out as they were fresh from the oven. I would love to master making bread like my mom did when I was a kid and master the sugar cookies that my Aunt Mae made. I have made some terrible bread in the past. I am so afraid to try bread that I just gave up.
