It has become a daily staple for me. I never make a meal without first consulting Recipezaar! It is my cooking/baking lifeline! I also just joined as a Premium Member, and looking forward to the extra benefits and meeting other ZaarMembers, now that I can use Zmail! <br /><br />I am also a LOVER of CHOCOLATE!! It's a vegetable, you know...it is! It's a bean! :) <br /><br />Along that note, I recently lost my source of income and direct sales was not on my radar whatsoever, but a friend introduced me to Dove Chocolate Discoveries, you know the Dove Chocolate company... What better way to make money and have fun than doing CHOCOLATE TASTING PARTIES?! Now I have a full calendar and making great money! All because of chocolate. I love what I do :) <br /><br />I also LOVE love love to sing, and help others acheive their dreams in the Performing Arts Industry, actors, singers, models, bands... I've helped many people you'd recognize receive representation and launch careers on tv, film, with record labels and in the modeling industry!
