Becoming a mom was the best thing that ever happened to me. Not just because I have a beautiful son but because it forced me to become a better cook so I can feed my family nutritious home cooked meals. I add love to every dish I make now. I love to bake. I think I can bake better than I cook. I love to try new recipes, any kind. But my favorite is stir frying because it's just one pan you have to clean afterwards! I was so proud the first time I made an apple pie from scratch...lattice crust and all. I avoided the recipe for a year because I was so intimidated but when I finally attempted it I got so many compliments that I wish I would have tried it sooner! Once I was baking cinnamon quick bread and accidentally grabbed the cumin instead of cinnamon! Needless to say, it was inedible and I had to throw the whole thing away.
