I have been married for 12 years. I have two girls, and three boys. My family is the most important thing in the whole world to me. As for my cooking profile, I have been cooking since I was 10 and joined the 4-H. As a young teenager I started making cakes and pastries from scratch, something my mom never did. When I got in High School I took all the cooking classes that I could. A couple of years ago I became a Pampered Chef Consultant. Cooking is so much fun for me. If Full Time Mother wasn't my career, I'd love to own my own bakery. I love cooking desserts! That is when I do my best cooking. After 5 kids I know I shouldn't do the desserts as much, but I usually do share them with my neighbors before my husband eats it all. So I guess I really don't eat much of the desserts that I bake. My 3 year old loves helping me cook. She stirs things and pours things and of course licks the spoon all clean. She has actually gotten good at cracking eggs too. I love potluck dinners where I can show off my baking. I feel so proud when people ask "Who made this dessert?" or "Who made this salad?" and I take home an empty dish. I especially like sharing food with my mom and grandma, and feel so happy when they compliment the food I make. I can't say that I'm proud when my husband compliments my cooking, he'll eat anything! I don't have any "tragedies" except for when I get distracted if I'm cooking with my daughter and find that she has crushed the whole egg into the batter, or has emptied out my flour container onto the table.
