<p>Feeding the masses is the reason I use 'Zaar. Most of my cooking occurs simply to keep everyone fed (we have 6 kids plus two kids in law). I double almost every recipe to feed the crew. I love cooking with my kids - they are tremendously helpful and we have a very good time making a mess. :] <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></p>
