<img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <br>I am a mother of 3 children, Brent (17), Kaylee (15), and Cole (12). We have a very busy schedule most days so I love finding easy and quick recipes using fresh ingredients. I have been a Girl Scout leader for 10 years. I am a "Vacation Junkie" so I come home from every vacation and start planning the next one! If I don't have a vacation to look forward to then I fall into a deep depression! My new favorite cookbook is "The All New Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook". I'm only about halfway through it but everything looks absolutely YUMMY!!! My dream is to completely renovate my kitchen to be a Gourmet's Delight...you know, granite countertops, big deep sink, top of the line appliances, etc.
