I am very, very fortunate to be at home with my 2 girls (3y and 4m) and experiment with food! We go to the grocery store WAY to much and we probably have enough food in our house to make it through a disaster! My husband is great and up for most anything new (as long as it is not vegetarian :) I have a pretty small kitchen and limited counter space, but I LOVE IT! I love to cook anything new(as long as I can find the ingredients w/ ease) and casseroles and slow cookers are a lot of fun. Have been on a waffle kick since I got a new waffle maker (thus the reason for the South Beach Diet :) my mom's thanksgiving dinner. Her stuffing is something I crave all year long. It's funny, it is ALWAYS the same (however they seem to make even better gravy every year...)with the 20lb+ bird stuffed, mashed potatoes, carrots, turnip, butternut squash, gravy, stuffing, cranberry made a variety of ways, celery stuffed with cream cheese, dates filled with peanut butter and almost a pie per person! Apple, squash, pumpkin, and chocolate cream with always a surprise added like black bottom banana cream. oh man, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!!! well, I haven't had any to write of quite yet, however I was so 'in love' with myself making those stuffed peppers last night that I think those might be to date! hahahahaha!!! My husband ALWAYS wanted beef wellington. Since the day I met him, 'what do you want for dinner?" and he never fails to deliver eith "tacos or beef wellington". So, I made him beef wellington and guess what? He never mentioned it again! would have been delicious if I hadn't put WAY to much puff pastry on it and had to nuke it because it was raw. oops!
