My family & I live in NE Ohio right along Lake Erie. We love to try new dishes and usually eat something new every week. I've been addicted to Recipezaar since the 1st day I got the Internet in my home years ago and it has given me tons of new ideas and some awesome recipes. I like to read, garden, play with the grandkids, travel (although we haven't had time for a good vacation in awhile), and I love surfing the Internet.
