I'm a mom to three boys- Zach, Colby and Nolan. And married to Will. We moved to Texas in 2003 and right now we are living overseas in Angola, Africa. I enjoy cooking, reading, painting, hanging out with friends and spending time with my family. My favorite things to cook are baked goodies. Everybody appreciates desserts more than anything else! I also enjoying cooking Mexican food and trying all kinds of new recipes. My favorite family cooking traditions are making Christmas cookies with my Mom and grilling during swimming season in the summers growing up. It has been interesting adjusting my recipes to use ingredients that can be found here in Africa. I've learned to make a lot of new things just out of necessity! I use Allrecipes.com all the time to come up with ideas for new meals with the random ingredients I have leftover and don't want to waste! Before I got married I did not know how to cook at ALL! I tried to make dinner for my soon-to-be husband and I burnt the grilled cheese and ruined the canned tomato soup because I forgot to add the milk! It was awful!
