RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a proud single parent mom of a wonderful 15 year-old teen, an RN, daughter, gardener, and a doxie/weiner lover. I moved to Arkansas about five years ago and finally am getting more used to here. I'm a bit sassy and certainly a "Jersey Girl" at heart. Still haven't figured out why God brought me here to Arkansas, but I am sure in the future he'll open my eyes to why. When my son goes to college, I will probably adopt a bunch of children from different backgrounds. I love diversity and being different. Then I'll move to Jersey....
