I am a wife and mother. My two kids (10 & 6) keep me jumping all the time. I love to cook new recipes. I've recently been experimenting with "freezer cooking" because of our hectic life style. My daughter or son will look for new recipes to try in one of my cookbooks and then we cook them together. I guess I'd have to say learning to try my own variations on recipes. I used to be the type that would strictly follow a recipe, now I'm getting pretty good at substituting and revamping them in a way that I know my family will enjoy. There have been many!
