RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Hello to all you great chefs out there from around the world. <br /> <br />I live in the Missouri Ozarks where good down home food and eating is what it is all about. <br /> <br />Hubby and I use to love to travel around the country, we are not able to do that anymore. <br /> <br />Love the times my family can all get together. Love going to flea markets and garage sales to scout out whatever I am collecting at the time. I love old pottery, crystal vases, fun picture frames, fabric, gardening. We will be doing container gardening only this year due to a decline in health. Plan on several kinds of tomatoes and pepper. Love flowers and houseplants. <br /> <br />I love my digital camera, and hope to find the recipes of the pictures I have already taken. I don't have a favorite cookbook, unless it is the one in my hand at the moment. They are all like special friends. We love our furbaby Abbey. She keeps us on track. <br /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /></p>
