Cyndi Carlson
Cyndi has been cooking from an early age. She and her sister would mix up flour and sugar on the couch to practice making a cake, at the ages of 2 and 3. She helped her mother in the kitchen while growing up. Over the years she has cooked and baked quite a few meals. Her husband claims that she has only made 3 lousy meals in the 14 1/2 years that they have been married. That is a pretty good average since he claims to be a picky eater. For this reason alone, these recipes should be considered good.
