<p>I have been a registered nurse for 14 years. I am currently working in an oncology office as a chemotherapy nurse. I've been working in oncology for about 12 years now and have obtained certification in both oncology and breast care. <br /> <br />I love cooking and entertaining. It's how I show my love to friends and family. I love 'Zaar! My mom told me about it, and I just can't look away! I love reading how others have changed recipes, and how tried and true recipes can be just a bit better with one more ingredient. Here's to good food!</p>
