RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi;
I am the proud mother of a very healthy, very active soon to be 10 month old boy. I spend alot of my time being amazed at everything he does because he is my first child and I guess the novelty hasn't worn off yet. I love to cook and try new dishes and I really love to bake. I guess you could say collecting recipes is my hobby along with music and playing the piano which I have been doing for a ver long time. My birthday is in August and some days when I look at my 15 year old nieces I feel REALLLLLLLL OLD! I'm actually not too old yet but boy can a body feel it some days. Let's see.... my pet peeves are ignorance and intolerance and people who are just downright rude for the sake of being rude. I'm very passionate about my son and love spending time with my friends and family. Well that's all for now.
