I'm a working mom with a toddler and another baby on the way. I love finding new and different ways to sneak veggies in to our meals. I love "one pot" meals, and anything cooked on the grill for everyday meals. I love to cook more elaborate meal plans for entertaining. All holidays are excuses to cook for my friends and family! My mom was masterful at adding vegetables into all possible dishes, and with a small child myself, I now understand why! She also loved to cook one-pot meals, and she had a recipe for carrot cookies that are delicious. I try to follow in her footsteps of healthy cooking and living. I came in second place in a cooking competition with a recipe I wrote myself. Many loaves of brick-like leaden bread. I haven't quite figured out the knack for getting bread to rise properly. Sometimes I get lucky, but many times my bread is most suitable for toasting.
