RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am married to a wonderful man and am a proud mother a beautiful 4 year old daughter who I love dearly! When I was on maternity leave I became hooked on the Food Network channel and found a desire to learn everything I can about cooking. (i am still a work in progress!) My sister, deb k, in Michigan got me hooked on this website and shares recipes and tips with me all the time. I have two, very picky eaters in my home and find it difficult to come up with quick, healthy meals during the week that everyone likes. My husband and I love to entertain and we are constantly trying to come up with new, yummy foods to share. There is nothing better then having your closest friends and family over to celebrate life and friendship!!
