I'm into cooking and love it and then suddenly there isn't time in life to fry an egg! So I'm a drib and drab cook! I have twin teenage boys who eat their way through the house and the supermarket is my second home!
I HATE artificial colours, flavours and preservatives and any other additives. Sends my kids nutty. The more wholesome...the better.
