I am 31 y/o and have 3 boys. They are 11, 7 and 3 and love to eat. They can be a little picky and that is one reason that I love allrecipes so much. I can find just about anything on here. I am married to the military, my husband is active duty and is southern to the core. But I like to spice things up with our meals by adding some of my favorites. I grew up with country style food and have had a lot of other influences from a polish grandfather and lebanese grandmother. I lived my first 24 years in Detroit and have tasted every corner of the earth. Needless to say I love different kinds of food. I absolutely love cooking from scratch meals. My favorite thing to make is probably anything with chocolate. I have a serious sweet tooth. I also love to try new things to impress my husband and to spread my wings. I would love to be able to entertain guests with an absolutely fabulous menu that will keep them coming back for more. I have to say that my husband can make a mean cheese cake. Breakfast has always been a big deal at home in Michigan. Going to grandmas for home made biscuits and gravy seriously showed our southern sides. Fried chicken was another favorite of my grandmas along with her family famous home made chocolate cake and chocolate icing with coffee added. Every Thanksgiving when my turkey comes out just the way I planned it is a HUGE triumph for me. This year however, I tried a new recipe from my favorite morning radio station and it was magnificent. The first and only time I made a pecan pie, I cut into it and the insides oozed out. I have been to devastated to try since.
