I have three amazing children (4 yrs,2 1/2 years and almost 13 months) The oldest and youngest are girls and the middle is a boy.We have another due in August and hopefully there will be many more to come. My husband and my children are my life.... and cooking for them is a big part of that.

I Love making enchiladas and anything else that my family loves.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I didn't have any cooking traditions growing up. But, I am begining some for my family. my little ones love to help in the kitchen. We make a big deal over baking and decorating birthday cakes/cupcakes.
My cooking triumphs
I created a smoothie with spinach in it. My kids LOVE it. I think getting children to eat veggies is always a triumph.

Whole Wheat Pita Bread
Great recipe! Yeah a few steps are missing, but it is not hard to figure out what to do. After the dough rises, roll into twelve balls then roll balls into flat circles...let rest and proceed with baking. These are yummy, and my little ones are so excited about thier pita bread. Oh, and the fact that these are whole wheat is the best part! Way more depth of flavor then that plain white suff.

Good 100% Whole Wheat Bread
okay! I am a bread failure and I just succeeded with this recipe! WooHoo! I subbed out real milk in place of the water and dry milk and used real butter! mmmmm Just made sandwiches with it and my almost 6 year old declared it "perfect".

No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars
These were really good. I would agree with the comments to cut back a bit on the butter, but they still tasted awesome! I was out of peanut butter, so I just sprinkled choc chips on the warm oat mixture and spread them as they melted. MMMMMMMMM.......
