RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Cooking is my 2nd favorite pasttime. Golf is the first. I enjoy cooking (and eating) all types of foods. I especially like when my grandkids have a few requests even before they visit. I've been a retired mailcarrier for almost 15 years,moved south and I love it. I like almost all the recipes I've seen on Recipezaar and especially the ones from Kittencal. I've used this site for quite a while now and decided its time for a premium membership...my cookbook is too full.
