RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in northern Illinois. I work as a Medical Transcriptionist, am also a church organist. I love to cook and bake, knit and sew. I have been the organizer for the churchs fall bazaar luncheon for the past few years. It's wonderful to hear how much everyone likes the food and especially when they ask for the recipes! I try recipes from RecipeZaar out on the guys at work - they love it! They are my guinea pigs (testers) for the church bazaar meal.
