<p>I am (mostly) employed by my husband and two daughters as a stay at home mom. The older I get, the more adventurous I like to get with my cooking. My mother-in-law, Chef hazeleyes, gave me a subscription to to this website back when it was recipezaar and I've been additcted ever since. Oh, and I like to run:)</p>
<p>A few years ago, I completed a year of cooking my way through the Top 100 recipes of 2009. I made, reviewed and submitted a photo of every recipe on the top 100 of 2009 in 2010. What can I say, I was inspired by Julie & Julia but am not quite that ambitious. I am now going through a sort of cooking withdrawl and am excited to try some new recipes soon!</p>
