I'm a happily married mom of two beautiful girls, Genevieve and Aubrey. My husband will try just about anything I make (except fish!) and is always very generous with his opinions. At 2 1/2 Genevieve has a pretty picky palate but typically chicken or anything you can dip in ketchup are winners in her book. I really love to bake, but recently my hips have been keeping me from my hobby!! :) I enjoy lightening up recipes that I wouldn't otherwise make though. I really enjoy cooking just about anything, casseroles, soups and stews, stir-fry dishes, anything Italian or Mexican inspired, desserts of all kinds, crock pot.... just about the only things I stray from are homemade candies and the deep fryer! Christmas cookies, Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas Eve 7 Fish Dinner....and every year on your birthday my mom would make our favorite dish, and I'm excited to carry on this tradition with my two little ones! My first Easter dinner which consisted of a turkey, a ham, a lasagne, and multiple side dishes and desserts. I was so busy I think I forgot to eat but everyone raved over everything and I felt so accomplished! Gosh there's more than I'd like to admit! They typically come from me reading something wrong, and putting in say a cup of flour instead of a tablespoon, or from me transcribing something incorrectly into my recipe book. Like the pie I made once that called for 3 3/4 cups of milk in the original recipe, but I only wrote down 3/4. Yeah, that was inedible!!
