New Poll

Love the posts! I've been using a lot of turkey lately, anyone else? Check out the new poll. You have all month to vote. On the subject of baby food, I wanted to share two resources that I love: Super Baby Food and First Foods by Anabel Karmel. My son rarely shows much interest in eating solids, so all that peach puree that I froze still sits in the freezer. Someday ...

About the cooks

Alysun: I learned to cook while in Africa 4 years ago when I was forced to cook from scratch. I didn't have a clue away from the comforts of my culture's ready-made food selections. Now, as a mother to 2 small girls, and a wife to a hungry farmer, I love to cook good, healthy food for my family.

Andrea: I have always loved to bake, cookies especially, but cooking was never "my thing." I had my husband convinced I couldn't do much besides boil water for the first year of our marriage. But my husband likes food and he like variety. PB and J and Top Ramen didn't cut the mustard. So I broke out the cook books and figured out it's not so bad. I enjoy cooking now and look forward to trying new recipes. Cookies are still my favorite.

Annie: My food loves are pies, casseroles, birthday cakes, and holiday food! As a single woman I knew only of toaster waffles and sandwiches. When I got married I discovered that not only did I like to cook, I wasn't too bad at it either. I live in Portland Oregon with my husband and one year old son. In a former life I was a kindergarten teacher.

Jeana: I'm just recently discovering how much fun cooking can be. Dinner time used to always feel like a chore and I felt limited by my family's meager food budget. By getting organized, menu planning, and learning fool-proof recipes from other moms I am experiencing a whole new way to be creative.

Kelleigh: As the second oldest of 10 children, I was forced into cooking for an army at a young age. Fortunately, I "studied" under my father, the man who throws in "a little of this and a little of that", so I'm not really afraid to experiment and modify when needed. I am now cooking for my own little, tiny family (there are only 4 of us!) and REALLY enjoy being able to cook better food on a smaller scale. I'm always on the look-out for recipes that have a gourmet taste without the outlandish ingredients or price.

Lindsay: Growing up I loved to bake and my mom's only rule was, "as long as you do the dishes". When I got married, my sister-in-law made me a recipe book of all the Button family favorite recipes and it became one of my most used tools in learning to cook for my husband. Today, I'm an avid meal planner, and find cooking for my family of 5 fun and gratifying (most of the time!) And my husband and I have worked out a sweet deal: I cook, he does the dishes!
