Married to husband Steve for 14 years with 2 daughters Madeline 11 and Rachel who is 5. I grew up in a time where Mom's stayed home and cooked from scratch. My biggest pet peeve about other peoples cooking is when they use too much salt. My favorite type of food varies on my mood. But generally it's something Middle Eastern or Asian. The recipes I post are recipes that I've tried and would make again or recipes from my childhood-good old comfort food. ENJOY!
