I'm originally from the the west coast and the south, so you'll see a hodge podge of recipes from both areas. Currently, my favorite types of food are Mexican, Chinese and Soul. Talk about eclectic tastes! I'm a health conscious mom and wife to a bodybuilder (but we still love our splurge moments).
