I'm a SAHM of two little boys, the most wonderful pains in the I've ever known. I've been cooking since I was a teenager and I've grown to love it more and more with every passing year! I'm always on the lookout for new and better recipes. I love to bake! Cakes, cookies, cupcakes, quick breads, etc... you name it, I'll bake it. I especially enjoy cooking from scratch, and experimenting with whole grains in recipes. Pancakes. As a kid, I always set the temperature on the stovetop too high. My pancakes were, without fail, crispy burnt on the outside and a gooey mess on the inside. Yuck! Also, my first time making a veggie stir-fry I severely under seasoned it and it was basically a tasteless mass of cooked eggplant and onion. We ate it, but we didn't enjoy it. I think I've improved since then; at least I hope I have!
