RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in the suburbs of Kansas City, MO. I am married, over 20 yrs. now, and have 2 kids, a girl, 18 and a boy, 16, and one grandson, 26 mos. I am currently a stay-at-home-mom. For fun I like to try new recipes, scrapbooking, go fishing, and take family trips. My favorite cookbooks are ones that people have submitted their favorite recipes to, they are usually always full of crowd-pleasers.
