RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am recently married and we are working on our 1st baby. We're parents to two of the funniest labs on the planet and spend most of our nights at home now, so there is always something going on in the kitchen. I wasn't really interested in cooking until I met my husband 5 years ago. He is very skilled in the kitchen and definitely turned me on to it. I've been gathering recipes from this site for over two years and discovered a hidden love for baking. I'm quite famous within our group of friends for my desserts. We entertain friends and family at least 2 weekends a month depending on what sporting event is on. Can't wait to try more of what this site has to offer and to share what's working for us.
