RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a school psychologist and enjoy cooking, traveling, dancing, sports and music. Recently, I have remarried and moved to New Jersey. Like many of the mothers on Recipezaar, I have two precious boys, a 7-year-old and I have just given birth to my second son.
I love to try all kinds of food, particularly from other countries, because for that nationality, that food is the most delicious for them. After moving to New Jersey, I have had the wonderful opportunity to try food from all over the world, especially authentic Italian-yummy! Cooking is one of the most wonderful things that a person can do. My son loves to mix and help in the kitchen; it brings everyone joy when he is creating his masterpiece.
