My family has had the fortunate opportunity to live in differnet parts of the USA over the last few years. This has given us amazing chances to experience cuisine throughtout the nation but also blessed us with the ability to see everything this wonderful county has to offer. Not only in every new local have we created so many new & wonderful memories BUT, in every new location we have have been able to add new regional recipes to our family cookbook.
Cooking in our home is newver a chore but a favorite hobby. My husband and I are very lucky that we have children that are always willing to try new food and actually love doing so!
