I am married to a wonderful husband who is my best friend. I love being mom to two boys. Cooking is so therapeutic for me. I love to try new recipes, there is such a sense of satisfaction when it all comes out right and my family can enjoy the fruits of my labor of love - ha ha! I love to read cookbooks, talk about cooking, talk about spices, grow herbs you name it! I'm looking forward to sharing my favorites, organizing my cookbooks and trying new soon-to-be favorites!
