RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I've been cooking since I was 11 years old, which means I've been doing it ... awhile ;-). My biggest culinary influences? My folks, the astounding and unsung Jacquline Higuera McMahan, Rachael Ray, and Dr. Peter D'Adamo, originator of the Blood Type Diet. Besides cooking, my favorite pastimes are music, reading, movies, gardening, interior decorating, and pets.
