RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico with my two kids, my significant other, Scott, my sister Katy and 2 pets. We stay busy! I'm a speech language pathologist for the Santa Fe Public Schools and work with middle school students. I love to bake but don't like to cook so Scott does most of the cooking. Whatever I cook has to be easy and simple. We add green chile to nearly everything. I keep my favorite recipes in a recipe box but use recipezaar.com all the time.
