I am a mother of 4 and grew up in a small town in a large family. I learned to cook at the age of 10 watching my grandmother. I have always just had a touch to it. I remember making my very first pie crust from scratch adding fresh fruit from my uncles orchard. I spent hours preparing this special pie. I took it to my grandmother's house and served it up for dessert at our family get together. Everyone raved and couldnt believe I mads it all by myself. ;) I love to bake. I love making breads and desserts. :) Cooking for a family and cooking entirley from scratch. Homemade mashed potato's, they cant be beat. Learning to decorate my homemade cakes, this took me awhile. ;) taking a lemon custard pie to a family dinner and it ran all over the place.. The crust was beautiful, but the filling just didnt set.
