Every since my son was born this past April I seem to be kicking butt in the kitchen. I have been doing much of my cooking from scratch. Making my own pizza dough, baking my own bread and using ALL veggies and herbs from my garden. I also have taken on making my own pickles and jams. It is so exciting that I am finally getting really comfortable in the kitchen!! One of my favorite things to make in the: Summer: Fresh Garden Salsa, Grilled Kabobs, Bob Barker's Pasta Salad, Veggie Dip Fall: Thanksgiving Dinner & Chilli Winter: Soups of all kinds, Homemade Spicy Apple Cider, Meatloaf w/ Mashed Potatoes Spring: Spicy Mustard Maple Syrup Salmon, Light Cakes I always love to make pizza and bread. One Valentine's Day I tried to bake a heart chocolate cake for a party my husband and I were attending. Well ~ let's just say it was sooo bad we ended up stopping at the grocery store and purchasing Hersey chocolate bars instead. Everyone thought they were such a great idea!
