Pixie's Kitchen

about me

I am 29 and a stay at home mom to 3 kids, 2 little girls with a sweet little boy sandwiched in between. I love to decorate cakes and make other sweets. I also love cooking healthy fresh whole food dishes, I have to balance out the sweets somehow. We have two dogs and a very busy household so dinners and meals in general have to be somewhat quick. On Saturday evenings we entertain friends and try new recipes out and have a big meal together and enjoy the joy that comes around when good food and good company combine! I watch two little kids during the week and my husband works with his father in the family HVAC business. We love to tackle home projects and my husband usually gets the pay off of a really yummy meal. I write and do a little bit of artwork but most of it is translated into cakes now. We love to spend time outside and manage to have a small garden in the backyard that we can eat out of during the summer. I think it would be awesome to have some chickens for eggs and as pets but the neighborhood doesn't allow it so we will have to wait till we move back into the woods again.

Favorite Foods:

I love salads and fruits, comfort foods, fresh Italian dishes (I love Everyday Italian)and other European dishes. I love Mexican every now and then and I love challenges in the kitchen, Just get me over my fear of meat on a bone. I have a dairy allergy so I am limited in what I can eat but I usually end up just taking a bit out of any recipe that calls for dairy for me and make it as stated for the rest of the family. I am also a huge Martha Stewart Recipe junkie and find that her recipes are spot on with timing and temps. Everyone knows that I am willing to try and cook just about anything...if worse comes to worse there is always take out and 9 times out of 10 there is always someone in the house that likes it.
