I'm 31 years old and I've been married for 6 years. I have a 14 year old step-son who stays with us every other weekend. I work full-time and I have a very long commute, so I don't cook very often during the week. I enjoy cooking, so I try to find the time on the weekends. My other favorite hobby is reading. I love curling up on the couch with a good book. I love to cook and eat almost anything, but my husband is a very picky eater. That makes things a little difficult. I try to adjust recipes as much as I can to suit both of our tastes. Currently I don't have any family traditions, but I look forward to having children one day and creating some. Growing up, my grandmother would make a huge Southern lunch every Sunday. It was like Thanksgiving every week. I want to make memories like that for my children. I'm happy anytime I get compliments from my husband, step-son, family or co-workers. My mom makes a strawberry cake that is my dad's favorite dessert. I have attempted to make the recipe many times and it always ends up in the trash. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The top and edges always get brown and rubbery while the inside is gooey and uncooked. I'll figure it out one day.
