RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I've lived in Seattle for the last 6 years, 4 of which I was a student at the University of Washington. I've worked at Amazon.com since practically the day I graduated and am in my 3rd position here. My job is fun and challenging however, I will admit that whenever I need a brain break my fingers always find there way to recipezaar.com. I love to cook (needless to say), run, read, hang out with my friends, and anything that involves being outside on a sunny day. I have a definite passion for nutrition. I think that having a working knowledge of how your body uses food (and which foods are best) is one of the most powerful things in life. I plan on being here for a long time and need a healthy body to do it!
