I'm a stay at home Mom of 2 boys, ages 15 and 12. I LOVE to cook, although it's a challenge making interesting healthy meals with kids who can be picky.
I also enjoy gardening, cottage, travel, reading, and doting on my very cute yorkshire terrier.
I'm a huge fan of Bonnie Stern, and I think I have every cookbook she's published, including her latest which is inscribed to me by Bonnie herself! What a great Christmas present from my sister!
