I'm a wife, homeschool mom, outdoor enthusiastand health concious. I love family recipes but that is probably because I do not have any from my mother(She died when I was 18). So when I get one or find one I really work hard to make it work! I really enjoy cooking Asian foods. I'm teaching my girls how to cook healthy food during the dinner hour and I hope this becomes a family tradition. I make a Pork Roast that a Professional Chef asked me for the recipe. Considering 5-7 years ago I was horribly incompetent in the kitchen...as the comercial says: "I've come a long way baby!" We recently had an "Asian-Themed" Christmas Party and the food was a big hit! I once (about 10 years ago) made candied yams by peeling and baking them for 30 minutes with all of the other ingredients and served them. My fiance nearly lost a tooth!
