I am a Montana girl who enjoys the outdoors, painting, and cooking. I have a degree in landscape design but am currently working as a waitress in a local place. I recently got married and now live with my husband and two wonderful golden retrievers in a tiny southwestern Montana town. I love finding new recipes to try on recipezaar- it is so great to be able to come up with a recipe for anything in a matter of minutes.
