RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I grew up in the south eastern area of the United States of America. Having four children in the family and being a tad bit on the poor side, my family didn't eat at restaurants much, so one of the best things that I learned to do was to cook. Nature and science play a big role in my life. I enjoy reasearching all different types of things and history is among the researches. I have an awesome bf whom may as well be considered my husband. The typical marriage and child lifestyle is not for us. We enjoy our time with our furry puppy friend. We are mostly homebodies, and prefer a layed back life. Smiles and giggles win me over. : )
