I am a Daughter of Christ, which is the most important thing about me. I love to cook, read, dance, ride horses, and hang out with my friends and family. I usually just cook for my family, but I also bring a lot of things to my Book Club for them to try. I love God and like food, and that's me in a nutshell!
