I live in Florida and have 3 boys aged 10,11 and 13. I work from home which is good because I'm here when the children get home from school.
I hated figuring out what to cook for dinner each day. I love Recipezaar because I can find so many great recipes easily, and swap ideas with other cooks. I think I'm becoming a better cook, and I'm having so much fun that I keep trying more new recipes.
