RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I recently moved to Alaska from Arizona for my husbands job. Right now I am staying home with our 2-year-old daughter. We are all still trying to discover Anchorage and all that Alaska has to offer. I love everything about food. Shopping for food, cooking food, and eating food. My mother is an amazing baker, and I am fortunate that she passed that on to me.
My husband is from Zambia, in southern Africa, so we cook a lot of traditional Zambian dishes. I love to cook but rarely do I measure and track cooking times. I am the kind of cook that just throws things together until I get what I am looking for.
