RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in Missouri and am a Homeschool Mom. I love to cook and instill the love of cooking in my 13 year old son, who is still trying to get the hang of it. I enjoy watching him learn the basics and it is wonderful when he cooks dinner for all of us here at home. I am a heart transplant recipient, at the age of 38 years old. I had it done 4 years ago this May! I am grateful for everyday I have with my family.
