<p>I am a stay at home mommy to a sweet little boy and a precious little girl. I enjoy cooking and playing in the kitchen. It is my dream to one day own my own little breakfast/lunch shop. I doubt it will ever come to fruition though, because my husband and I agree that raising our children is my first priority. Looking at Food.com is one of the things that I do every day. I am not afraid to try anything. Thinkgs don't always turn out very good, but what is the fun when you don't try. I have two things that, as much as I try, I can't make. I am horrible at biscuits and pie crusts! They just never turn out!</p>
<p>My love for cooking began at a young age when I cooked in the kitchen with my mom. I remember the day that I cooked something by myself the first time (it was biscuits amazingly). I hope that my kids love to cook as much as I do, and hope to help them in their culinary journey. My son, at 2.5 yrs old already always want to help.</p>
