I am a registered nurse (pediatric ICU for 21 years; hospice for the past 12 years), married, mother of 2 daughters, and grandmother to 2 grand-daughters. I have a huge collection of cookbooks and on-line recipes and have always read these recipes the way others read novels. I recently had weight-loss surgery, but find that I enjoy finding new recipes and cooking for others even more than before! Aside from cooking, my other major interests are family, pets,reading,travel,and music.
