I am married to my school sweetheart, who bravely made it through TWO deployments to IRAQ. between the two of us (including previous relationships) we have 5 AMAZING kids.....one of which is OUR OWN!!! :) I LOVE to cook....and I IDOLIZE RACHAEL RAY!!! I love to come up with new recipes of my own, I rarely follow a recipe, and when I cook, nothing ever comes out the same twice....maybe that's cause I don't measure things...I just "eyeball it"....my husband is realizing that b/c I own almost all of Rachael's cookbooks, and watch all her shows, I am beginning to use her LINGO...lol, I'm not meaning to...it just makes sense to me...it's like..it's how I have thought all along..she just put it into words easier than i could have...hehehe
