Hello! It's Rikki!!

My name is Rikki, and this is my first blog.

I am a mother, and wife.  I love my family, they are my life.  My husband and I both work full time, and rarely get to see each other, except on weekends.  I work days, he works nights.  We have three children, two teenage girls and a little boy. 

 If you know me, you know I love to cook, bake, and garden.  I still have much to learn about gardening...  The cooking and baking, I pretty much have down.  There has been only one dish I made, that my husband and I did NOT like...  Too bad we can't remember what it was so I know to not make it again...

I have been baking since I was in about the 4th grade, making up my own recipes and all, and my parents saying how good it was.  I liked it, but hey, I was 8 or 9..

This summer has been full of gatherings of family and friends, from birthday parties, holidays, camping, and BBQ's, it has been fun trying out new recipes for them.

Part of my reason for starting a blog is Crowdtap.  Crowdtap is a website that I joined just over a year ago, that does product testing, and hosted parties, and sample shares!  I was recently chosen to host a McCormick Grill-Mates BBQ! (separate blog to come)

  That's probably enough of my rambling for one morning...  I need to start on cleaning up from last nights shin dig!!
