I have been married since 1995 and have 3 children. I started really cooking after I got married. I love hearing how great my cooking is. My kids are my best complimenters. I just began to can spaghetti sauce 2 years ago. I absolutely love the smell of home cooked sauce cooking. I am Italian and nothing to me is better than a great big pot of spaghetti. I also have recently learned that I have a knack for pie baking. At the holidays I have always helped my mom do the baking. It wasn't until the last few years that I realized how much I truly enjoy this. I made pies for Christmas this year at my In-laws house, it was great. Everyone raved and compared me to my husbands grandma, who passed away a couple of years ago. She was a truly fantastic cook and to be compared to her was wonderful. I remember trying to make a Pineapple Chicken dish when I was 16 for me and my brother. It was awful. The taste just wasn't right and the rice was undercooked. Needless to say the trash got more to eat than we did.
