Feeding Family of Four

I went from an applauded, occasional baker, to a person who prepares the food for a family of four.  I went from single, to married, to the mother of two in the span of 3 years.  I moved from a downtown condo, to a home in the central suburbs, to the country in the same time frame.

I used to make one fabulous meal a week.  Now I make many, many more meals.  Some are fabulous, and some just do the job of filling an empty stomach. 

I do my best to make the most of affordable food options.  I am proud of taking a limited budget for food, and applying all of my intelligence and creativity to turning raw ingredients into healthy, satisfying, meals.  Satisfying to my family means, variety, attention to tradition, and the use of cheese and chocolate on a regular basis.
