I am a mom of three ages 7,5 and 2. For that reason I love to whip things up that are quick and easy!! However, I usually love to spend times on my desserts as that is my stress release. UPDATE: Fast forward 4 years...we now have 4 kids aged; 11, 8, 6 & 10mos. Wow does time fly! I still love cooking and baking, just not enough time to do the more in-depth recipes. Maybe down the road.... Cakes, Cakes More Cakes!!!!!!!!! Well, I also like to make large course dinners as I have FINALLY mastered cooking multiple dishes at the same time (in my ONE oven). Thanksgiving has become a tradition for me for the last 3 years. I wanted to take the pressure off of my grandmother who lives 5 miles away. I truly love the feeling of satisfaction after everyone gets together at my house to 'catch up' and she has none of the cleanup or preparation to worry about. Let's see, a black forest cake from scratch was very intimidating but turned out excellent. I never thought I could cook a large turkey right that tasted great but I did!! This is easy, when I was 15 I tried to make my mom's infamous Blondies but somehow, I got baking powder and baking soda confused. They smelled like fish, and tasted just as bad!!
