"A taste of Tuscany - this is a very fresh bean salad with a bright, lemony flavor. Serve at room temperature as a side dish or on a slice of baguette..."

In my backyard with my darling fur-grandchild, Lola who now lives in Denver with little "sister" Emmie and my daughter and son-in law. I live in Tulsa Oklahoma and I own a real estate management company. I love obviously, cooking! I also love to entertain, gardening, and hanging out on my deck with friends & a good glass of wine! My job consists of lots of problem solving & being creative and I think it relates well to the process of entertaining as well. What to cook, how to prepare, what's the most interesting presentation, etc??? My sister-in-law, another RecipeZaar chef is the consummate hostess & we have cooked many a fine dinner together! I love to watch Food Network & think Barefoot Contessa is great! Along with Giada De Laurentis & Paula Deen!
