I LOVE to cook! These days, life is so busy having two little ones and running a business out of our home, so cooking needs to be simple and easy. Dinner time is when the whole family sits down together and we have family time. A good meal really increases our fun together.

<br>A big goal of mine in cooking is keeping fat and calories down. If I can find a tasty meal that is healthy too, I hang onto the recipe and make a habit of whipping it up often!
