The Lucky Seven (and 7 Deadly Sins)

.
As far back as I can remember, I have loved to cook, bake and eat. Being the responsible middle child, my mother taught me my way around the kitchen at a young age. When she decided to work outside the home, she would leave instructions for me on how to start a dinner for 5. As time went on, I enjoyed growing my own food. Today I still love to cook, bake and eat. Life is short, so let's eat dessert first.
