I'm a married mother of 2. My oldest son is 9 and my youngest son is just 15 months. Dinner is like feeding time at the zoo at my house. Trying to keep things healthy, fresh and interesting is sometimes tough. I really get sick of doing the same thing over and over. So im always up for anything new. I love Allrecipes.com, the reviews help me choose the best recipes for my family without having to test on them. I love to cook or try just about anything. Although my favorite dishes that always seem to please are lasagna, turkey, and cream puffs. I am an Italian born in the US raised in Campobasso, Molise, Italy and I am married to an Egyptian so the food we cook in our home is very diverse to say the least. Since we are Muslim, the biggest time for us to cook is during the month of Ramadan. We usually have really big dinner parties. Thank God they always come out well. I was making a nice Italian sauce and when i went to add some dried basil...the top fell into the pot along with most of the dried basil. I happened to have company that day...so i was going crazy scooping out as much basil as i could...lol. it turned out alright.
