RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a very busy mother of two, 1 of them being autistic, hence the name "autism mommy". Cooking is my passion, I absolutely love it and am always looking for new recipes. When my son wakes around 2 a.m. because of the autism, I often start cooking so that I don't kill him!!! His school knows when he hasn't slept because there are always goodies waiting for them still warm from the oven first thing in the morning!!!<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
