I'm a mother and I am still learning to cook. My goal is to cook and bake as much as I can for my children so they do not have to eat so many pre-pakaged foods. My mother never taught me how to cook or bake properly so another goal is to teach my children how (as I learn) and make it fun. Or as fun as I can :o) Italian food and baking fun things for the kids. I also love tying to make something a little more challenging perhaps a 'celebrity' favorite from HELLO magazine. Christmas cooking and baking treats for halloween and birthday parties. Any fun food where kids and family are involved :o) CHRISTMAS DINNER, with home made buns, stuffing, gravy, corn, the whole works. Nothing burnt and everything was ready at approx. the same time! OMG - anything that involves flames, destroyed pots or pans and the fire department.
