Before kids I cooked all the time because I loved it. Now that I have kids I cook because I have too! I used to make complicated dishes with rare ingredients. Now I make meals that are easy to prepare when kids are sleeping! I do love to teach my girls how to cook. From this site, I like to cook "Beets and Sweets", "Mexican Lasagna", and trying different soups. I love making soups from scratch on Bronco Sundays when it is snowing outside! I am a vegetarian but I make a mean Thanksgiving dinner with Turkey and all. My guests seem happy. I had my husband's Aunt in from out of town and two of her friends I hadn't met. I had a hard time planning the menu and ended up making grilled chicken with mango salsa and zuchinni boats. One of the guests didn't arrive until hours after the other two which complicated things. I think the flavors didn't match well and the zuchinni boats turned out not nearly as good as other times I made them. I am still embarassed!
