I'm a stay at home mom of 3 kids under the age of 7. I like trying out new recipes at least once a week. My poor dh always has to be my guinea pig when it comes to new things. I like to sneak in healthy foods without any of them knowing. I enjoy cooking just about anything...ahh, who am I kidding? My favorite thing to make is homemade cheesecakes, brownies, and cookies. My family is a big pasta family. And when we're not having pasta, we're having some kind of mexican food. I really like quick, easy recipes. I like trying out new recipes and it is a bonus when it's a good one! Around Christmas my family of 5 will gather in the kitchen and make/decorate cookies. My daughter is starting to "help" in the kitchen when I'm preparing a meal...granted, she's 2 years old, but she loves to watch! My kids like to search allrecipes.com for new yummy dishes to help me make. When dh and I got together, I didn't know my way around the kitchen. I couldn't even prepare hamburger helper without something going wrong! 3 kids and 13 years later, I'm a new woman in the kitchen! :) I've had so many of these it's not even funny. Sometimes trying out those new recipes don't pay off in the end because no one likes it. But, that is one thing about food, if it doesn't turn out and the dog won't even eat it, you can throw it away and order out!!
