I live a very busy lifestyle, so when I have time to cook something up...I take pride in it. I love to cook for large crowds and hear what people have to say. Always open for suggestions. I love to be outside, so grilling anything tends to be a favorite. I like to cook Italian a lot too. I will never forget making taffy from scratch and stretching it with y entire family around a table. Great memories. Making up new recipes. Sometimes my baking flops. I am working on that though.
