I'm living in the Cayman Islands for a year with my husband. It's been fun to try Caribbean foods and I love the beaches and scuba diving here. Amazing! We're in for a big change this fall when we move to Maine. I'm excited! Anything in the slowcooker - roasts, chicken, soups. It all tastes better in the slow cooker, and I love coming home and having dinner ready for me. My family loves to bbq. Growing up in southern California, we bbq'd year round. I did my own Christmas dinner for the first time this year - the ham was really good! It went well enough that I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year. We'll see how it goes... I substituted baking soda for baking powder in a recipe for breadsticks once - they were absolutely disgusting! I had to throw away the whole batch.
