RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I have three children, college age to pre-school. My challenge is to cook nutritious yet delicious food that they will all eat. I still cook most nights of the week and enjoy trying new recipes. I am just learning that not everything has to be "from scratch" and it is okay to take a shortcut here and there. I love to bake bread and even own a mill to grind my own wheat. I still look for quick week night recipes and love to make a big Sunday dinner.
