I'm a stay at home mom to my 1 daughter and 2 sons. I sew and quilt in my spare time, but much of my time is spent with my kids. My favorite cookbook is Betty Crocker because I can get an answer to anything in it. My second favorite cookbooks are Emeril Lagasse's Prime Time Emeril and Mario Batali's Simple Italian Food. I've gotten my best food reviews with dishes from these cookbooks.
