RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in Temecula, Ca with my husband and 6 furbabies! I am currently involved in customer service, but my passions are photography and cooking. I haven't had much time recently to do a whole lot of cooking, but my husband is constantly begging for me to do so. I joined a while back as a quick way to find recipes, but recently, due to a budget kickback, I am searching for cheaper ways to make foods and breads. I've come across some great recipes and am gathering a collection of mine to post as well.
