RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My husband, Allen, and I have been married over 30 years, and we have two young adult children. I didn't really know how to cook when we first married, but Allen was such a willing guinea pig, and so supportive of my efforts, that cooking and baking became a passion. I like to try new recipes and my family enjoys eating them (most of the time!). I work full time as a teacher consultant and really enjoy working with students with special needs.
