<p>I am a stay at home mom/ former Dietitian who reads cookbooks and cooks to destress. I have 2 young boys who are extremely active. <br />I collect cookbooks as an addiction and a hobby. I have a wide range from Naked Chef, to bed and breakfast cooking, to Greek, Italian, French, Indian, Japanese and Middle Eastern food. I love trying ethnic recipes and restaurants and then going back to old American standards. <br />I spend most of my day either in the kitchen or outside running around with the boys. My husband and I are in the process of planning an addition and creating our dream kitchen.</p>
