I am a Registered Nurse. I work at a major medical center and have for almost 20 years. I am married and have 3 children. My mother and both grandmothers loved to cook. Anything! I love to experiment. I come from a German background and love the traditional German recipes. My dad loved to cook and experiment with new recipes. Every December, he would come over about 4:30 am and we would spend the entire day doing all of our Christmas baking together. Finding my grandmother's handwritten cookbook! My mother made an awesome spaghetti hotdish using canned spaghetti that everyone loved. But she always made it by adding "a little of this and a little of that". Now she is gone, and so is her recipe.
