RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a stay at home mom and I LOVE to cook (it's actually theraputic for me!). I started out taking baking classes at a neighbors house when I was very young and over the years (many, I might add) I've developed into a pretty good cook (or at least that's what I've been told). I love to entertain and I cook everything for our annual party, 100+ people. Nothing too fancy, just good down to earth food. The challenge is always trying to find/develop recipes that I can make ahead of time and freeze.
