I love to cook and bake whenever i have spare time. I am a good or shall i say exceptional baker according to my 4 kids. We are fortunate enough to travel constantly as a family and our passion is FOOD! We are constantly on a look out for new places to eat. I enjoy entertaining in my house and we love to have guests come over. We are never out of food to feed my childrens' friends when they hang out. They always rave about my home baked goodies and it warms my heart to hear their oohs and ahhs....
