A 35 year old mom of two ages 9 and 12. Married for 16 years to my high school sweetheart. I work part time for a famous Coffee Company, but mostly spend my time at home, and volunteering at the kids' schools. Cheesecake! My first cheesecake was given to a non-profit organization for their annual dessert auction. It sold for $275- one of the highest of the night. I love making delicious and special desserts, as well as satisfying main dishes. I love to cook most anything, it's just the clean-up that I don't care for. I found the "absolutely ultimate potato soup" recipe a few years ago on allrecipes.com, and have been serving it on Christmas Eve ever since. I also bake cheesecakes or make dinners to give as gifts to my kids' teachers for their Christmas gifts. My peach cobbler. My husband is from the south, and had this memory of his grandmother's peach cobbler. I tried recipes one after another until I found what he was looking for. After a few times tweaking it, he told me that mine was actually better than his grandmother's- WOW! I once made a cheesecake that blew up like a mushroom. I still to this day do not have any idea what I did wrong. It only happened once, and hasn't happened since.
