I live in Freedom. I have so many recipes and cookbooks with only one recipe that I like in that I started making what I call "Mommy's Cookbook" for my DD. In my family when the grandparents died we also lost some really good recipes. I don't want that to happen to us, thus, "Mommy's Cookbook". I am a stay at home mom and home school my DD. She is starting to cook along side me which is awesome.
