I grew up in toronto with my parents and sister eating fried groud beef and peas every other night for dinner, with the occasional meals of sausages or eggs and chips. I swore i would never feed my family those dull meals. I am so happy to have found this web site. My husband and I met in high school and started dating many years later. We have two beatiful boys and one day we hope we have a little girl too. I work part time as a dental hygienist and for fun i hang out with my family.
