I live in Southwestern Indiana with my DH and my DD. I work for a bank part time, and enjoy cooking, gardening, and enjoying life.
I love working on the computer. Whether it be for fun, or for work, I enjoy learning more and more.
My favorite cookbook would be any of the Taste of Home Recipe Books. I went to a Cooking School they held in our area, and was sold. My SIL bought my first one for me, and I have gotten each one since.
My passion is my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I love serving Him. My next passion would be my family. Beyond that, it could be about anything. I love to try new recipes from Recipezaar :)
If I had a month off, I am not sure what I would do. I imagine I would do the things I love, and surround myself with those that I love. I know, not real exciting, is it? But that is what I would love to have everyday!
