about me

I have two wonderful kids,5 and 11, my youngest loves to help in the kitchen. His specialties are homemade noodles and macaroni salad. My daughter loves all things macaroni and cheese!
In the summers, we spend a lot of time at the lake and on our four-wheelers. And because we are outside so much, we grill all the time and enjoy fresh produce. In the winter, DH spends time taking the kids hunting and filling up those freezers! I usually keep the oven going and slow down with a good book.
I am not a baker. However; I have found many delicious recipes on this site that are challenging my baking abilities. My kids are encouraging me to keep polishing up my baking skills!
I love to collect cookbooks! Finding this site was a stroke of luck. Now, I can keep all my favorite recipes in one place, and put the less used books away to make room for new ones!

Favorite Foods:

I love Mexican and Italian food. But nothing beats good ol' comfort food. I am very fortunate to have a family of good eaters. They are not too picky, and generally try everything I put in front of them. Sometimes they are pleasantly surprised when we are trying something new, but other times we just have to break out the PB&Js. All in all, they have been really good sports since the discovery of this site. And we have even found some new family favorites!
