I am 33 years old and have been cooking every since I could pull up a chair and help out my Grandmother Betty. I married my high school sweetheart in 1995 and we are still going as strong as ever. We have three wonderful children. I am always cooking for a big group a people and children in my home. I love to try new things and new techniques, even if it dose not turn out. You learn from trying and experience. I love to bake and make candy. Cookies and goodies at Christmas. When my daughters each make their own signature dish that they created each Thanksgiving. I think that it will continue on into adulthood. When I was young I put salt in a dessert instead of sugar. Always check to be sure you grad the right thing.
