RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in Upstate NY with my son. Giovanni, my son, is a year. I enjoy playing with him, taking walks to the park, reading and, of course, cooking. Right now I am working towards my BA so my son and I can have a better life. In my extra time (haha..does that even exist), I love cooking. I love to experiment, my poor son is to young to verblize when he doesn't like something, but he sure knows how to throw the food :)! Cooking relieves stress and is just something I absoultly love.
