RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am currently living in Athens, GA with my boyfriend, our three dogs, and house rabbit. I have been cooking less since moving here because there are lots of great local restaurants to find cheap eats at.
I am very domesticated and I love being in the kitchen. I rarely ask someone else to cook in my house because it is therapeutic for me.
I love butterscotchgirl for buying me a premium account! She rocks, woot!
I am absolutely honored to be selected as "Chef of the Day". I hope you guys enjoyed digging through some of my favorite cookbooks :)
