I live in Chicago and have a wonderful husband, 2 beautiful boys and the cutest dog in the world! ha I am a stay at home mom. I don't have a favorite cookbook because I use all of them and hunt on the Internet constantly. However, I use my Better Home and Gardens cookbook a lot for looking up ingredient equivalents and substitutions. My passion is cooking/baking. I just started decorating cakes and cookies on a stick. It's a lot of fun and would like to take a Wilton class. I also enjoy crafting. I make flower arrangements and no-sew fleece blankets, fabric-lined baskets, etc. I sing in our church choir and really enjoy that as well. My biggest pet peeve I guess, is people that are negative all the time.
