I'm the wife of a US Army combat infantry soldier, and mommy to a sweet little boy, born on July 12th 2008. I'm here on this site to try to find something other than the same old recipes to cook for my husband, who has NO problem with me trying new meals for him! :) I love recipes that use fresh ingredients. I will always use fresh herbs over dried if I have them, and I can't get enough fruits and veggies. I plan on making my son's baby food when he gets old enough, instead of using jarred food. I happen to love all things dessert, but my husband does not, so to protect myself from eating a whole cake, I've pretty much given up on making anything sweet. I can make a pretty good lasagna, no one else in my family will attempt to make it for some reason. I can never make meringue come out right, I don't know if I'm putting it on the pie at the wrong time or what, but every time I make what seems like a perfect meringue, it is watery a few hours later, and I have to scrape it back off....help!
