I live in Topeka, KS. I LOVE TO COOK! However, I get alot of my ideas from family recipe books, and my favorite HAMBURGER cookbook. It's my lifesaver most the time. I do a lot of Rachael Ray recipes, and I do a lot of recipes that don't have a lot of ingredients in them and don't have a long complicated process to do. I love to spend time with family and do outdoor things. Except when it gets cold or icy. Then I hibernate in my house and just cook! I don't know if I have any hobbies yet, but I enjoy decorating and party/planning. I like taking pictures too. Well, that's about all I can think of.</p>
