RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a single mother of 3, 1 girl and 2 boys, and my youngest graduated from high school in 2006. I also became a grandmother in July of 2006 which has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I'm a music teacher and have taught for eighteen years in the same school district. I've raised my kids alone, which has been very difficult at times, yet it has been extremely rewarding. I like to cook and look at recipes on zaar...but since I have an empty nest most of the time,(my 2 youngest are in college) now I can get by real cheap on the grocery bill.....
