I'm a stay at home mom with two children, ages 11 and 9. I enjoy trying new recipes and sometimes in the process torturing my kids with them. It's good to try new things! :) I also have a great husband and a very social cat that likes to 'talk' to me while I'm in the kitchen. I most enjoy baking cookies, cakes and breads. Having said that, I use Allrecipes a lot to find recipes for dinner. I get tired of the same thing and love when I can add something new and delicious to the dinner rotation. I recently made bagels for the first time. That's definitely something I never thought to make. I used the 'Bread Machine Bagels' recipe from this site. Awesome!
