I became a mommy September 26th, 2008 and have found that I enjoy cooking a lot more than I used to now. I enjoy finding new recipes to try and making sure I get the stamp of approval from the man of the house...:)
I have four dogs that used to get left overs, but lately we have been the ones cleaning our plates! Sorry pups!
