Hello fellow cooks-I am on OBGYN doctor and I am new to this website.
. I love RecipeZaar since there are so many, easy, delicious, tested recipes. Between myself and my boyfriend, we have 5 children so there is always someone hungry-the family is so happy about the new, freshly cooked foods that have been gracing our table as of late.
Gardening- here in south florida we have lots of tropical fruit trees - is another hobby that I enjoy.
We love scuba diving too.
Recently, I did a tandem parachute jump.
