I am a happily married mom of three and work part-time in the beauty industry. I love to cook for my family & make a variety of meals they will enjoy. I love to cook & bake, but not clean up the dishes afterwards... I have really expanded my cooking horizons after discovering allrecipes.com - I enjoy reading other's advice and try out new & exciting recipes! I love to bake, it is my weakness and the main reason for my curves! In the summer, each of my kids helps with one meal per week. Each year, they grow in confidence and skill - I'm hoping one day, they will take over! My family is very appreciative and compliments almost all of my meals - They think I am the best! Oh, too numerous to mention. Burning things on the grill, forgetting about cookies in the oven (the house did NOT catch on fire), dinners down the garbage disposal. Bad things tend to happen to my chocolate chip cookies...
