I thoroughly enjoy cooking and baking.

Every since I was a young child I would be in the kitchen with my grandmother and mother learning to bake and cook all sorts of food. In my pass time I enjoy coming up with meal recipes and ideas to cook. I like to put love into anything I am preparing. I find enjoyment in the small things and knowing my family enjoys that I pour my heart and soul into the food I have prepped for them. I enjoy being in the kitchen with my 13 year old daughter because I get to pass my knowledge onto her and also spend time together making wonderful memories.
