I am a stay at home mom of three. I love to try new things in the kitchen. I consider myself a better baker than cook, but I can hold my own in the kitchen. I've had to try a lot of new recipes because I'm always looking for ways to sneak healthy stuff in for my picky hubby and youngest daughter. I love to bake. I would say the things my friends and family love the best are my chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and apple crisp. They also love my perogies (but they are so time consuming I don't make them much), and my party fare. I love that our friends gravitate toward my kitchen when we have parties. I love Christmas Eve at our house. I'm Ukrainian and so we do 12 meatless dishes every year. It seems every year we add a few more people to the dinner table. I've had my fair share of failures and never-make-agains; too many to remember. I'm not that great at coming up with a recipe completely off the top of my head, but I love tweaking ones I find to make them suit my own tastes.
