I'm a happy wife and mom with four terrific kids, two wonderful granddaughters, and a zoo of animals. Our family is split, which everybody living in the SEC should understand... half of our family is die-hard Auburn University fans, the other half are Alabama fans, but God bless 'em, we're still prayin' for 'em. During the day, I get the priviledge of working in a local non-profit agency, but when the workday is over, I enjoy cooking for my family and all our family and friends. I read cookbooks for fun, and am addicted to recipezaar!
