My husband asked the question, “What do you love to do?”. I had a dream…really (must have been hungry)…about cooking. I love to cook and I love to bake but have limited time. Working full time during the day and a mother of three, cooking becomes a challenge and we just eat out. With prices rising, eating out becomes less of an option.  I’ve taken steps to make it easier to cook quick meals that my whole family enjoys. The hardest to cook for are my boys who are very picky eaters. They like to know what they are eating which usually mean little to no sauces or gravies and simple vegetables. Slowly but surely the range of foods they like is widening.

Hopefully this blog will not only give you some delicious recipes but also provide tips and suggest products that will make cooking easier and help you stay within your budget. I will also post more challenging recipes which require more time but are well worth the effort.

I’m always looking for recipes, tips/shortcuts or products that I can try and share with others. If you have something you would like to share, please email me at thewoodenforkandspoon@yahoo.com. Check back soon for my first recipe.
