RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm married to a wonderful man who serves in the US Navy and am Mommy to a precious little one. I have only come to enjoy cooking in the past 2 or 3 years, but it has become one of my favorite activities. I'm currently working on creating a one month menu without repeats, all receiving 5-star ratings from my husband. I'm just beyond the halfway point, and hope to find success in this little venture soon. My husband and I enjoy eating in more often than out, but I do enjoy attempting to re-create our favorite meals from restaurants we discover on vacations, which must always include SCUBA, skiing or some other outdoor sport.
