My husband and I love to cook - and it shows ;)
Grew up in North Carolina, married a wonderful guy from South Carolina but to make the cooking more interesting, we moved to Colorado.
We're trying to eat more healthy, so we've cut back on our red meats and have added "vegetarian night" to experiment with our cooking.
My motto in life is, "Why not?"
