RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in the GTA - Greater Toronto Area in Ontario. Love to cook, collect cookbooks, reading, workingout, camping with family and Monty the English Springer Spaniel. Usually I like to start from scratch when cooking but keep in the cupboard a few things that will help put dinner on the table when I just don't feel like it.
