I'm a proud mother of 2 married sons and 2 young granddaughters. I came to Maine to be near my 2 girls. I very often bring dinner to my family using Recipezaar recipes, which get great reviews. I've been getting recipes from Recipezaar for years and think this is the best and easiest site to use, so I finally joined. The chefs here seem to be really friendly and helpful. I love to read and I love art. I work 4 days a week selling furniture and look forward to working 3 days a week next year.
