I am a mom of two busy boys, ages 3 and 1. I've always loved cooking, and when I was a little girl I wanted to be an astronaut or a chef. I did not become either as a profession, but still love to cook when I get a chance and have become very good at doing it while my pant legs are being pulled on. More than cooking, I love to photograph and style food. I love cooking veggies and soups most. I'm still perfecting my meat skills, but have been known to spark up the BBQ and try my hand with that. I also love to use leftovers in creative ways.
