I've found so many amazing recipes on this website, I've decided that I really ought to start giving back.
I love making a home-cooked dinner for my husband and I 3-4 nights per week and RecipeZaar has been GREAT for this!
Historically I've worked in advertising, publishing, sales, retail, and bakeries, but I now find myself a fulltime housewife.
We're newlyweds (married 4/8/06) and are currently "parents" to two cats and the world's most adorable english bulldog. We hope to have kids in the next year or so, so I guess you could say that I'm trying to hone my skillz now. :)
We love to travel, cook, and brew beer... among other things.
