I am a mom to one daughter, 11, and I successfully manage to cook at least a sit-down dinner for my family at least 4 nights a week! I love to bake, especially for the holidays. Breads, cookies, brownies, cheesecakes are my specialties. I involve my daughter in as much cooking and baking as possible. From pulling the ingredients to measuring and mixing. Because I have done this as soon as she could reach the counter, she has never been a picky eater. She always tries what she helps to make. I was asked by a private chef to bake for a 100 person catered fundraiser. He had sampled my baking, and he was blown away! Don't ask me to decorate cakes/cookies/etc. I have no artistic skills what so ever!
