I'm a stay at home mom of 2 girls. I call my cooking a work in progress. I'm lucky that my kids and husband are adventurous eaters. They will try anything I make (almost;)). Lots of vegetables, quinoa and black beans, chicken, pasta. I love to bake. I just wish it wasn't so bad for you. My favorite family tradition is our Italian Christmas eve dinner. Pasta with fresh made sauce, shrimp and scallops, garlic bread and salad. Also, my mom taught us to always have a salad with dinner. Great way to get your veggies. I made an herbed pork roast that my family always asks for. I didn't even use a recipe. I also make a mean vegetable soup. I made chicken, broccoli and rice in the slow cooker. I don't know what I did wrong, but the broccoli was overdone and the rice was still crunchy. Even I wouldn't eat it.
