RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I grew up in a small town in New Jersey and most years we had a big garden where I was often found with salt shaker in hand. Then for many years after I married there was no garden so you could find me hanging out at the local farmer's market. I started my cooking career at age 8 when I made my first cake from scratch and making desserts is my avocation, I'm a retired registered nurse in my other life.</p>
<p>I have twin daughters, four grand children and two great-grandchildren.I'm inspired by new and unusual recipes. </p>
<p>My signature dish is quiche and American goulosh.<br /> My favorite kind of foods is Mexican and Italian. My favorite Mexican restaurant is Antojito's, they have the best burritos and their flan is some of the best I have ever tasted.</p>
