I live just outside of Madison, Wisconsin in the wonderful midwest. The seasons here are great, and the winter offers up some wonderful skiing opportunities. Also, I'm a Green Bay Packer fan, so getting together for tailgating parties are something I look forward to. I grew up right here, and am an only child. My mom was (is) a wonderful cook - except for meatloaf... I can't stand the stuff to this day!! She never seemed to work off of recipes, so I don't have much in writing that was passed down to me. I've become somewhat of a 'messy' cook - I throw in things without exact measuring, and I take up all available counter space when I make dinner - no matter how simple it is! My husband and I have no children, so I usually wind up with lots of leftovers... I haven't yet mastered the art of cooking for two. :)
