RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Well, I am a mother to two great kids, who are sometimes picky eaters. I however LOVE to cook, eat etc. I am married to a wonderful man that has changed our lives!
I have always had a knack for being able to re- create dishes I've eaten in restaurants etc. But I love to create my own stuff too. I could spend the entire day in the kitchen..... if I didn't have to wash the dishes! Luckily, I married a man that loves to eat as much as I love to cook (hense out slight weight gain)
