I am a stay-at-home mom who loves to explore new, innovative , and nutritious ideas for my family. I also love a delicious dessert to reward my kids for eating well! I love ANYTHING that I can make in my slow cooker. I love to make hearty soups, bake breads and cookies. I love to make gingerbread dough the day before Thanksgiving. I love the roll out the dough and let my daughters cut the shapes. I bake them, then they decorate. All ready after the dinner while we are trimming the Christmas tree! I am a self-taught cook and homemaker. I am successful in introducing my 4 and 2 year olds in eating things other than hot dogs and french fries! To make a long story short, when I am cooking, that is all that I can have my mind on, or else there is a terrible mess to clean on the stove or in the oven.
