Passion meets Purpose – Part 1
remember the moment that cooking became my purpose. We had a house full
of our closest friends and family who were over watching the most recent UFC
fight. I had been cooking and preparing for company all day and was in the heart
of cleaning up and doing dishes. We had a somewhat open kitchen and I could
see our friends and family visiting and hanging out. I can still see their faces clear
as day. Some were engaged in serious conversations and some were talking
loudly and laughing. Kids were everywhere, of all ages. Everyone was happy and
content.

Passion meets purpose – Part 2
I cannot talk about passion and purpose without talking about my family. When I
was a little girl my favorite thing to do was to play house. I wanted to be married as
soon as possible and I wanted to have kids, ten to be exact. Of course when I started
having kids as an adult and realized that real babies are a heck of a lot more difficult
than dolls are, not to mention way more expensive, that number went down. Way
down!

Cooking for a Crowd
One of my very favorite things to do is to entertain. My husband and I both love having a house full of people to visit and interact with. In the 18 years that we have been married we have moved to new cities/states multiple times and we have always made a point to make new friends and entertain them in our home. No matter what our living arrangements have been and the space we had available we utilized it the best we could for entertaining.

The Perfect Christmas
I don't know about you but every year I have big hopes of creating the perfect Christmas for my friends and family. Of course, this perfect Christmas starts with the most perfect family photo shoot for our Christmas cards that I always envision sending out in the beginning of December. We are all perfectly dressed in outfits that I planned in advance and we are all happy and cooperative. In my fantasy, as soon as December hits my roof top is lined with clear Christmas lights and the trees in the front yard are blinking brightly for all to see. Since the holidays mean having lots of goodies around for us to enjoy and to share with our neighbors I will have a day or two dedicated to making Christmas treats that we can freeze and pull out as needed.
