RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in a small suburb of Nashville, TN with my sweet hubby and beautiful, smart, sassy daughter. I recently gave up the ever stressful life of "working mom" in order to manage my home. I'm really enjoying all the opportunities this has given me. Not only do I get to enjoy those wonderful mother-daughter moments with my tween girl, but I get to COOK actual meals for my family! What's really great is when the two combine, moments in the kitchen with my daughter... It brings a little tear to my eye.
