I am a newly wed who's always had a passion for cooking - I swear my hubby married me because of the meals I make! We just bought a new house and completly renovated the kitchen, it is my pride and joy! I look forward to making many meals in it for years to come. I love to try new recipes. My favorite thing to do is to pick an ingrediant I have in the house and find something to make on AllRecipes.com I am learning all of my grandmother and mothers recipes so i can pass them down to my future children. The best gift i ever got was a homemade cookbook from my mother. She put in her mothers recipes, recipes from aunts, cousins and family friends. I love it and will cherish it always.
