I am a mom of two elementary school aged boys. I am also wife to a wonderful husband. I work part time in an office. I love to be in the kitchen and I love feeding my family healthy and tasty foods! I also love to grow a vegetable garden in the summer, although here in Vermont, the growing season is kinda short. I love working out (to combat the weight gain from all the baking!), being outside, kayaking, fishing (we ice fish in the winter), and spending time with my boys! I love to bake and experiment with baking recipes. I have mixed results with my recipe changes. The changes are usually to make the recipes healthier. I love healthy cooking and baking. I have also recently begun using my crockpot and I am loving it! Cookies at Christmas! My mom and I always made tons. I am continuing with my sons as they love to help in the kitchen. Also my mom's homemade bread. I still can't recreate hers! Birthday cakes for my sons. They have each had a special cake for each birthday, all handmade. There has been a racetrack, train, rocket ship, teddy bear, Darth Vadar...I love doing it and the boys get so excited! My husband and I recently made our first ever homemade donuts. It is was my first success at frying anything and they were so yummy! I have trouble frying things! The house always ends up stinking and the product burned!
