I grew up on a farm and have always been cooking and baking. Even though I don't live on the farm anymore I still cook for all the help especially around turkey time when there are extra mouths to feed at the farm. I also bake for the farm market year round (in my spare time). I have three teenagers who are always hungry but who don't all like the same types of food. In addition to my job and many volunteer positions I still manage to keep my oven on all the time when I'm home baking or cooking from scratch. Thankfully my husband is easy to cook for. I bake (a lot) so I'm always on the lookout for new recipes (cookies, breads, pies, etc.) and since I work I'm always looking for recipes that are both healthy and quick -- what everyone wants. I love to make some recipes that my grandmother used to make for me as a kid and when I make them it brings back such nice memories of her. My brother and I, along with a friend, have biscotti day once a year at my house and we bake from morning til night in the beginning of December to make something homemade to give along with our gifts.
