I love cooking for my family, but I don't exactly find it relaxing. I do it for the end result...something good to eat! I'm always trying out new recipes, which is why I love this website. It saves me a lot of time trying to figure out if a recipe is going to be worth making or not. My kids are 9, 7 and 5 years old, and are just starting to appreciate good food. I try to involve them in the kitchen as much as I can. My 5 year old loves to cook with me and is actually very good at helping. My 9 year old makes breakfast (toast) for his sisters in the morning when I'm too tired to move. And my 7 year old is always willing to stir anything that needs stirring. For some reason, (despite the fact that there are a million recipes I want to try) I have a really hard time trying to figure out what to make for dinner, even though my husband would be happy eating pizza every night!
I love to cook anything that tastes good and is worth the time and trouble to fix it. However, I don't attempt any difficult or expensive recipes...I leave that to the professionals! I love all kinds of food, but would rather pay to eat really good Chinese, Indian, etc. than attempt to make it myself. A successful dinner is when my son hugs me and says that that was the best dinner he's ever eaten!
