RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

A teacher & Literacy Coach for Harrisburg City School District. I didn't start cooking until I met my husband. He didn't agree that we should eat out or order in every night despite my lack of cooking experience. So I checked out latest edition of The Joy of Cooking from the library and began cooking for him. Needless to say, I found out I actually enjoy my own cooking more than most restaurants. It's become a new hobby for me along with tending to my garden and reading!
