I am married and have a daughter who was born in May. My husband and I love to eat well-- we enjoy eating out, particularly finding a yummy local restaurant or trying new ethnic foods. We try to eat healthy most of the time but also enjoy comfort foods! We also enjoy being outdoors, camping, music and sports.
