Hi ZAAR fans. I became a fan myself through my mom (Braunda (Brau)) some time ago. I recently got my own computer and couldn't wait to become a member. I'm a stay home mom to 2 beautiful children as well as a full-time wife. I don't do much for fun but have plenty of ideas dreaming. I enjoy trying new recipes, especially when it's within my budget. I can't stand people who smack thier food when they chew. Something I inherited from my dad. Although, I hear that's a compliment in some circumstances as well as other countries. I am going to enjoy being a part of the ZAAR family. Food and love to all!!
