I am a happily married lady for 22yrs. now, with 3 grown (very well fed) sons. I am a special needs school bus driver. I do arts and crafts in my spare time.
I grew up in Woodbury NJ. Raised by my Grandparents, who were key in my cooking education.
I love the food network and have been inspired a lot by Paula Dean and Racheal Ray.
I don't like to skimp on flavor in my dishes. It's gotta be butter or you can forget it!
