Madly in love with my husband and teenage children. I started cooking and baking in highschool took a break from "really" cooking/baking after my second child because I went to work full time. I am finally trying to get back into the groove, I forgot how rewarding it is, how happy and thankful people get when they eat a really good dish... this site is sooo helpful! I think its almost time for me to start posting some of my own stuff, we will see! I like trying new vegetarian recipes that both my meat lovin' hubbie and my picky vegetarian daughters love! I like coming up with easy meals with what I have on hand, and I love love love dessert, we would eat it with every meal if I could find a way to make sugar good for you! Making holiday cookies, and cakes. Every time my family makes special requests, asks for subsequent helpings or when my dish/desserts are the first to get eaten at gatherings and potlucks. I guess if your kids did not like meatloaf when they were meat eaters they probably wont like it vegetarian style..my kids always seem to remember the "icky" meals. I have a hard time using gelatin, and yeast in recipes, but I am getting better!
