<br>I am a Registered Nurse currently working as a Director of Nursing in a nursing home for a large corporation. Since taking on my new position, I haven't had much time to cook, let alone play around on Zaar.
<br>
<br>Besides being addicted to Zaar,I am also a www.pogo.com addict! If you play on pogo, my screen name is tobearn_ look me up sometime.
<br>
<br>I am always looking to try new recipes out and so glad I found this site! I don't think I have signed out of it since I joined! :-) LOL
<br>
<br>I try to prepare hot meals for my picky family that is fast, and yummy. Although I do enjoy making some complex recipes at times.
