As a mother of seven children—six of them still at home—I cook a lot. I like to get each of them to help in the kitchen because this allows me time with them that I might no have otherwise. My husband usually has a large garden, so I'm always looking for new ways to cook our garden produce.—Jan Woodall, Indianapolis, IN
