<p>I love to cook. I love trying new recipes, especially when there is a picture. And I really enjoy reading cookbooks. <br /><br />As a child, I wasn't very good at cooking and always wanted to follow the recipe exactly. That way, if it didn't turn out right, I could blame the recipe! <br /><br />Over time, I have become more experimental. Brave even! <br /><br />I have three children: Shannon is 28, Casey is 26 and Joshua is 19. My DH Jack cheers me on when I try something new. He is my best friend and partner. I am a new grandmother, my grandson's name is Jayce and he's a delight! Plus, I'm going to be a grandmother again - with a granddaughter.<br /><br /><a href=http://s163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/TraceyMae_photos/?action=view?t=100_2166.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/TraceyMae_photos/100_2166.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><a href=http://s163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/TraceyMae_photos/?action=view?t=100_1401-1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/TraceyMae_photos/100_1401-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />My favorite cookbook is The Dessert Lover's Cookbook. Beautiful pictures, easy instructions. <br /><br />I was born in New Jersey and have lived in Hawaii, Australia, Chicago, Iran, Florida and now living happily in sunny California.</p>
