I've been retired since 2008 and absolutely enjoy life to the fullest. I don't consider myself a good cook but there are a few things that I make well. Those are represented by the recipes I've shared here. My husband and I just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. We are blessed with a daughter and a son, and I LOVE having one of each. It's always made life very interesting. I hope you enjoy my culinary offerings.
