I never really cooked or baked much growing up, it was always the ladies in my family who dissappeared into the kitchen and toiled away. But once I got married 8 years ago, I discovered I love to cook and bake, for my family or for just about anyone who's hungry!:) My hubby and kids seem happy to eat the same things over and over but I get so tired of the same ole thing! Recipezaar had been great in finding those new things.
