Creation in Hope

about me

I am seperated and getting a divorce, with a daughter whom I just adore, and so does everyone else or else!!! ;-} She was something I thought I would never have!! It took me 4 years to get pregnant! Then GOD gave me this beautiful, wonderful bundle of joy that has been a blessing in my life and always WILL!! I like to cook just not creative at all when it comes to cooking. I am trying to learn. I want so very badly to teach my daughter how to cook!! My Mom made everything from scratch and never taught me how to cook. I don't want my daughter illeterate in the kitchen!! I love my crockpot and use it alot.

I had a beautiful lounge lizard called Pettie (after the dog on the little rascals) she is a red nose brindall pit bull. Yes a Pit Bull and she is the most loving dog around!! She loves my daughter and my daughter loves her very much!!(PEYA is what she calls her!) I had to leave her behind when I left my husband of 6 years. I am trying to learn to cook good, but its hard I LOVE sweets and my starches. My husband, SOON to be Ex and I have known each other 16 years, been together 10, married 6, married in the Catholic church 5 years. Please don't feel sorry for me I don't want it. This has made me a better person and has given me a chance to grow and be a better person because of it!! You can read about my Life Changing experience here

I am happier now than I have been in a very long time.I would not change what happened because I would still be that person and I don't want to be her EVER again!! Remember pain is GOD's way of allowing you to grow and to learn — you can not have GOOD with out BAD and vice versa!!

I am loving this site the games and contests are just what I need to get me experimenting and learning to cook. I am loving this place yet hating it also!! I never get anything done anymore I am glued to this place!!

I love to bake and I started to make all of my Christmas presents last year and will be experimenting all of this year to get ready for Christmas this year!! 2 Years ago for Christmas I got things I did not need or really had a place for, I then decided I would not do that to another person ever again. I made all of my gifts last year. I did cookies and my fudges that I have posted. This year I plan on doing some canning, cookies, candy, mini muffins and mini breads!! This is the place to get your recipes and ideas if ever!!

I really love this site and would recomend this site to anyone. It is very addictive!! I am loving the ease of this site and how nice people are. Kudos to everyone here!!! I don't think I will ever need to buy another cookbook with this site which is awesome since money is the big thing in my life.

I am a blue collar worker in our local food factory. I work 12 hour shifts on a rotation schedule that repeats every 2 weeks. So if you don't see me for a while it might be that I am DOG TIRED!! I love to read and my favorite author if Terry Brooks. I love the Narnia stories I just don't have much time to read with a 2 year old (and ZAAR!!) I counter cross stitch when I can, I also love to take pictures with my digital camera which is my 2nd baby!!

Thank you for taking the time to read about me I hope I did not bore you to death!!

Favorite Foods:

I am famous at work for adult cookies. I will leave it at that. I am well known for my burritos and my burrito casserole (posted). My friend at work loves my Egg Rolls!! I like to make things that will last so that I have plenty of food to take to work with me for lunch. My mother loves my 5 minute fudge recipes (posted) that I got from Rachel Ray on the Oprah show! She just wants peanut butter, nothing else!

I work with a lot or Vietnamese, Korean, Hispanic and Loas people and I try to get their recipes from them alot to try and make their foods, after I try to figure out what they put in it that makes my tongue burst into flames and subtract that.

I love Mexican food, oriental food, and of course Pizza, mainly just pepperoni.

About 12 years ago my mom gave me about a 2 foot stack high of index cards of recipes on them. I never threw them away since my mom spent so much time writting them down and saving them. I have been trying to find a way to put them on the computer that would be easy to sort and find. I never got that started. I have finally found a way!! RECIPEZAAR!!! Almost all of these I have never tried but I am going to be checking against already posted items and start posting all of these recipes little by little so I can put them away for my daughter.
