about me

The roses live in my brother's yard in NY. The smaller picture is my youngest step-daughter and granddaughter being very silly!

Currently we live in Florida but hail from Arizona and California, where our heart remains. Our Maltese (Kiehls) is the love of our life and he's a real pistol! I work for fire rescue in administrative support and my husband is a general contractor.

We love the outdoors and being close to water (oceans/lakes/rivers); the mountains; the desert; and the tropics. Every place is unique and possesses an inherent and distinct vibe and beauty. Now that we live in this part of the world, we travel to the Caribbean and beyond as much as possible. When we are home, our favorite pass-time is getting together with friends, neighbors, and family for some laughs, great food, wine, and music.

Recipezaar is fantastic! Rarely do I use a cookbook anymore! I don't post anything without first preparing it. Collectively we make cooking interesting and a pleasurable experience.

Because everyone's tastebuds are different, I won't smack on other people's recipe. We deal with enough negative stuff in life and it's neither necessary 'nor productive for someone to read how much a beloved recipe was disliked. However, constructive comments and suggestions are always welcome. Let's keep this an upbeat experience for everyone!

Favorite Foods:

We enjoy a wide variety of foods, especially well prepared, well seasoned casseroles, seafood, stirfrys, salads, grilled items, good 'ole fashioned southern cooking, along with many ethnic foods - Mexican and Italian may be our all time favorites. We don't care for sweets but do enjoy cake-type baked goods such as cakes, zucchini and banana breads, coffee cake, etc.

I have to admit that I'm the adventurous one in testing different recipes. My husband is patient with my cooking experiments but would stick with good 'ole meat and potatoes, if he could. He's a great sport though, doesn't complain and fortunately, has come away from the table with many more positive experiences than negative ones.

We are so wonderfully blessed to have such a wide variety of fantastic foods, herbs and spices to choose from, and a great network of people to share them with!
