I found a love of cooking after I moved to Orlando to get married, everynight I like to make something new, I was never a big fan of leftovers. I know when we have children I will love leftovers but for now I will take advantage of the time to develop my kitchen skills. It is such a great feeling to finally grasp the concept of cooking, what goes with what and then being able to alter recipes to what you like. RecipeZaar is the best. This is my favorite hobby now, I get such pleasure out of taking the time to make a great meal and I have all of you to thank.
