I'm a stay at home mom with a young daughter. I'm looking for small portion meals usually for our lunch. Since DH and I both love desserts and hate waste, I keep an eye out for smaller sized dessert recipes. Since my husband enjoys cooking, he typically handles the evening meal. We are trying to eat healthier, so less prepared mixes, and canned soups, and more things from scratch.
