I love to cook. I spend a lot of time trying new recipes for my husband and two children. I work outside the home part time as a RN in our local OB dept. Desserts are my favorites to cook but with trying to watch our diet almost constantly I find it interesting to modify recipes to be lower fat and healthier. I love making christmas cookies. My extended family, friends and neighbors all get excited when I show up at their doors with huge platters of several types of cookies. I also have a tradition of making bread for people for special occasions like a new baby or new home. I've tried many new bread recipes this way, I make one loaf to eat for us and one to give away!
