RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am newly married, and adjusting to the wifey way. I am just starting my own kitchen, and slowly purchasing wonderful utensils and appliances so I can add to my cooking knowledge. My DH is a willing participant to my cooking, and will eat anything I place in front of him, even if I mess it up. In our house, we have a weird mix of food cultures. My DH is a southern boy, born and bred in Virginia State, while I am a good ol canadian girl raised in toronto. It has allowed us to bring together both values, tradition and food cultures to make a great mix!
