My husband and I have been married since 1992 and, after years spent pursuing my career I chose to give it up and became a very proud mother of a little girl born January 2006.
<br>I enjoy spending time with family and close friends and sharing great food and recipes.
<br>I like quick and easy recipes and will often try to reduce fat or sugar where ever possible. I do prefer to make my own food from scratch, as then I know all the ingredients that went into its preparation.
<br>My favorite cookbooks are the Southern Living series.
