RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I've been married to my wonderful husband, Jarrod, for 8 1/2 years, and we have two handsome sons, ages 6 and 5 years, and three beautiful daughters, 3 years, 2 years and 3 months old. I'm a homeschooling stay-at-home Mom and proud of it, and my favourite hobbies are scrapbooking, reading, games (especially word games like scrabble and boggle, and Settlers of Catan), and jigsaw puzzles. My favourite cookbook is the Kraft What's Cooking magazine. I always go through and make a list of the recipes that I have to try.
