I have two awesome boys 7 and 6 and a wonderful husband of 15 years. I have been cooking since the age of 10 when I became a latch-key kid with my 6 year old little sis. I cooked Friday nights when my single mom closed the bank and my favorite recipes were broiled fish, oven BBQ chicken and tuna salad! Cooking was fun then and it is even better now cooking with my boys or anyone else I can employ in the kitchen with me!!
