RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I love preparing tasty and quick meals for myself and my hubby. I work full time in public relations, so I'm always looking for fast recipes that I can get on the table in less than 30 minutes. I love fixing meals for others, too. My husband is picky and used to his Mama's country cooking (which isn't really my taste), so I am on here all the time finding dishes that suit both of our appetites. I think that eating good food is one of the greatest pleasures in life!
