Hi! My name is Cyndi McConnell and I turned 40 earlier this year. I live in Alabama with my family (see My Family below!)

I love cooking, especially baking, and I wanted to share some of my favorite recipes with you. These recipes have been tested and approved by the world's toughest critics - my family! lol

Most of these recipes come from Quick Cooking, a cooking magazine that I subscribe to, some I have "created" them at home just by trial and error. Sometimes I get so tired of the same ol' thing that I'll just throw something together, and it usually turns out pretty good! :)

Watkins flavorings and spices really do make a difference in cooking. So, whenever possible, Watkins products have been used, especially the vanilla flavoring.

Feel free to check out my group, you don't have to join to browse. You will have to join if you want to post, though, but it is free!!!

~~The love of my life is Danny. He is really my soulmate. Sometimes it amazes me how 2 people can be so alike.

~~ Charles is going in 7th grade this year. He is very active in TaeKwonDo and he is really good!  He has won several awards at tournaments! 

~~ Danielle is going into 9th grade this year. She loves to read and draw. She's going to be our artist!  

~~ Christian is my step-grandson, but don't dare let me here you say that! He is my grandson, period! lol He was born November 10, 2002, and an absolute joy in our lives! His dad is my step-son and I guess that would make his wife my step-daughter-in-law! lol

The only pets we have are 2 adorable hamsters.  Speedy is the family pet and Princess is my stepdaughter's, both females.

While there, please visit my message boards and if you have a terrific family recipe that you would like to share, please do so!

Watch me Ryze!

I can remember the Watkins Man coming to my house when I was younger. I don't remember my mom using the products, she may have - I was just so young, but I definately remember the name.

I was surfing the message boards one afternoon in February, 2003 and came across this opportunity. I downloaded the free e-book, called my sponsor that night, and signed my husband and I up the same night.
Since I love to bake, it really just made sense with the products that are offered.
