I am a tradtional homemaker and love being a wife to a great husband and a mother to a sweet daughter. I also have a precious cat that follows me around all day. I love taking care of my home and family.I grew up on a farm in Iowa but now I am very much at home in San Diego. http://tastingmysweetcreations.blogspot.com/ I love baking a wide variety of cookies, cakes and candies as baking is my specialty. I also have been branching out and making different dinner foods and bread. I enjoy grilling vegetables and bread. My daughter loves to help me bake. I remember watching my mother bake when I grew up and she instilled that passion to bake in me. My daughter is destined to have a love for baking and has her own apron, mini baking sheets, cookie cutters. She helps me each and every time I baking in the kitchen. I can temper chocolate and I can make caramels, I consider those my triumphs at the moment since it can be tricky to work with chocolate and caramel at times. I have been trying to make candy from scratch. I failed several times at trying to make the fondant for candy and truffle centers, I decided to put my candymaking book away for a while.
