Hi Everyone! So glad to have discovered Recipezaar, seems like a really COOL place to be!
I have been living in good ol' HOTlanta for the past 5 years with my husband and daughter. I have 2 dogs (a shitzu and a corgi) and also a cat I absolutely adore named Teddy.
My parents are from Vietnam so I have grown up all my life eating tons of vietnamese and other ethnic foods.
