RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I love to create great food for family and friends. I'm always trying out new dishes and creating my own recipes. I enjoy recipe swapping and I love to collect cookbooks and have hundreds of them in my collection. When I'm not cooking I love to spend time with my family. Our family spends a lot at the beach, but skiing in Colorado or Utah is our favorite vacation.
