<p>I grew up in a suburb of Detroit. Since I graduated from Michigan State University, my husband and I have lived in Indiana, Tennessee, and now Ohio. I love to cook, and try new things. I have a group of friends that get together every weekend and cook. I have three children, and work full time as a Packaging Engineer. So, I am never bored, cooking relaxes me after a stressful week. One of my favorite things to do (besides spending time with my family and BFF's) is go to our local farmers market in the summer, get fresh ingredients to cook. <br /><img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg" alt="" /><img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg" alt="" /><img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg" alt="" /></p>
