I am married with children and cook becuase I want to eat something other than hot dogs and spaghetti from a can. I also make the least mess. I used to work a paying job but now I am at home raising and educating my children and running our home. Anything that my family and friends get excited about and rave over! I keep a favorite recipes scrapbook with a photo of the person I got the recipe from. These are meals my family and I love. I hope to be able to make duplicates of this book to give to my children when they go out on their own. Making a meal in our thirty year old oven without burning it! I actually caused a baking pan to catch fire about five years ago! Very long story but funny looking back. No damage to anyone or anything other than the baking pan.
