Mom's Sloppy Joes

It's a pleasure to cook for my friends and family! I love to try new recipes and I prefer eating and entertaining at home to eating at a restaurant. Cooking is a passion and I am having fun! ;) I am a school secretary, very happily married to a firefighter who is the love of my life! I am the fortunate soul of an outstanding mother in law, who I consider my "mom", and for a step-dad in law that is an absolute riot and always makes me laugh. My own dad is a wonderful person, a fantastic woodworker and generous man whom I adore. I am very human rights focused and very open minded. It takes all races, creeds and sexualities to make this world go 'round. Close your mind and close the door on life, I say. Or to quote a song "Free your mind, and the rest will follow." Yeah!! Be that leader!!! I am also the mom to 2 wonderful girls (ages 20 and 18) and to 2 spoiled rotten Labrador Retrievers and an equally spoiled cat. I am an animal lover and love to provide "good care and lots of affection" to all pets, not just my own! Here are my wonderful doggies: http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/726484/08%20Family%20Pics%20008.jpg I am adopted and I just turned fabulous 41! I stay very busy, but like to watch Food Network and to try new recipes. I have also become a Zaar Addict. Youngest Daughter calls it my "Cooking Facebook" LOL!! For me, there is nothing better than getting together with good friends and sharing good times and great food! I leave a rating or a review for every recipe I try from the Zaar site. Thank you for sharing your recipes with me. :) <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/9dcd2f11.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/Halloween/4811_180759.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
