My Twitter profile = Brand geek. Ironwife. Makes a mean homemade Bolognese.

You'll also often see me tweeting what I'm cooking for #famlydinner. Eating well, and eating together, is important to me, even when we're on the most hectic work/soccer/carpool/family schedule. I really try to make time for it.

I also enjoy it. I know for many cooking is a chore, but I can't think of anything more relaxing than chopping and stirring for the better part of a Sunday afternoon.

All-Clad pans are the BOMB. I have used mine daily for 18+ years, and they are in amazing shape.

Take your time with the chopping. I turn on music I love and treat it as a meditation.

Marcella uses onions, but I don't, because I can't stand them. (I also skip the nutmeg.)

Look for San Marzano tomatoes. You can tear them up with your fingers right in the can to save time.

I almost always make a double batch! It freezes beautifully, or you can make somebody's day.

This makes a lovely new baby gift!
