RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi, I'm pretty busy. I homeschool my two teens while running after my 1 1/2 year old. I work part-time, voluntarily, for a local FSA farm. This works out great as I get lots of fresh, organic produce to use. I love cooking and collect all sorts of cookbooks. Though I do like to cook, I'm wary of branching out and creating some of my own recipes, but as I gain more experience, it's starting to come easier. Now, if only I'd just write those recipes down after I've made them!
