about me

I live in Chicago and have a wonderful husband, 2 beautiful boys and the cutest dog in the world! ha I am a stay at home mom.
I don't have a favorite cookbook because I use all of them and hunt on the Internet constantly. However, I use my Better Home and Gardens cookbook a lot for looking up ingredient equivalents and substitutions.
My passion is cooking/baking. I just started decorating cakes and cookies on a stick. It's a lot of fun and would like to take a Wilton class.
I also enjoy crafting. I make flower arrangements and no-sew fleece blankets, fabric-lined baskets, etc.
I sing in our church choir and really enjoy that as well.
My biggest pet peeve I guess, is people that are negative all the time.

Favorite Foods:

My favorite thing to make is Chicken Vesuvio because I love it!!!
Our neighbors love this huge tossed salad I make. It's nothing really but the combination of the veggies and cheese and the dressing make it a hit everytime.
My favorite restaurant.....hmmm...that's a hard one but I would have to say right now it's The Cheesecake Factory or this Mexican Place called Uncle Julio's because they have the best quesadillas I have ever had!!
