RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi there. I'm a 26 year old new Mommy. I have a wonderful son (born 6-3-2008), a 6 year old step daughter and amazing man in my life. I work full time plus some so I am constantly looking for quick and easy dishes that don't compromise on flavor. I try to eat healthy most of the time but I think everyone needs a treat now and then. I'm hoping to get some of my own recipes posted on here but I tend to just throw things together and not measure. I actually started keeping a notepad and pen in the kitchen so I can jot things down as I make them. LOL, I'll let you know what happens.
