RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a 43 year-old mom of 3. I live in Crawfordsville, Indiana. I work at a middle school, which I really love. I enjoy cooking (of course!), gardening, my pets (2 dogs, 3 cats), and my loving husband!
I am an avid cookbook collector, always looking at sales for any kind! I usually cook a meal every evening. I think sitting down as a family is very important nowadays. I have a grown, married son (and a grandbaby on the way!), a son in his first year at college and a 12-year old cheerleader! :) So it's really special to me to be able to hear about her exciting day!
