RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am soon to be married to my best friend, and we both consider ourselves "foodies". We enjoy good food, and I love to try and recreate dishes that I try while we've been out to eat. I love to cook, and am usually quite good at it, thanks to my mom who taught me well. We love to travel, and I'm not usually afraid to try new foods. We enjoy spending time at our lakeside cottage with friends and family also.
