I'm a 42 year old married mother of 5. I've been married to my husband Joe for 21 years. He is an ER Nurse. I stay home and take care of our home and 4 boys and 1 girl. Our children are 17, 15, 12, 10 and 6. I told my husband if he bought me a house I would cook rather than going out. We bought our home 6-1/2 years ago and I haven't stopped cooking since. I am a cookbook/recipe junkie. I like to try new things. I'm a pretty damn good cook if I do say so myself and have also been told. We recently found out that our No. 3 son has Juvenile Diabetes...so I guess I'll be learning some more new ways of cooking! Easy Stuff!! I can cook everything except chinese food. I love going out for Chinese, so I don't try to master it at home. Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas Eve dinner and treats for special occasions. I make, what I call Turtle Pretzels and my daughter Olivianna helps me. She just turned five in December and we have been making them together since she could climb on a chair. Where should I start. Just kidding. I make some mean Danish Cheese Squares, Rolo Cookies and Turtle Pretzels. I make spaghetti sauce (homemade) just like my mothers, at least I think so, pretty good. I'm known for my Chicken and Dumplings and Chicken Paprikash, with dumplings from scratch. PORK LOIN! Not tenderlion. The boneless roast.....dry, dry, dry.
