Chef #191436 | Joined: Jan 29, 2005 | Birthday: December 31

I am a single mom with 3 beautiful children - two girls ages 17 and 12 and one boy age 6.
They keep me very busy.

I grew up in a small town in southwest Virginia but have now settled down in the mountains of Tennessee.
I have also lived in Oklahoma, Texas, Alaska and Washington.
Having been a military wife for many years, I have met lots of wonderful people and made some great lifelong friends who share my love for cooking. I always enjoy all the new dishes that my friends and family share with me.
I am so happy to have discovered RecipeZaar. It has become a part of my everyday life now! 
I love to read; mysteries are my favorite.
The best gift I ever received was my digital camera! I hardly ever go anywhere without it...you never know when you might have a 'kodak moment'.
I love to entertain and have friends and family over and they love to come and eat!!
My kitchen is always open with good food and warm conversation!
My motto is:

My icon is the PINK BREAST CANCER AWARENESS RIBBON.
It is in memory of my sister
who passed away from a very aggresive form of breast cancer on July 25, 2002. She was my best friend and I miss her very much. We always loved to 'talk food' and she would have loved RecipeZaar as much as I do.
Ladies, please remember to do your monthly self-examinations. It could save your life.
It's hard to say what my favorite foods are. I love so many different things and am always open to try new recipes, but I would have to say that dark chocolate is my big weakness.
Family and friends are always requesting my Chicken ParmeRona #114964 served with Scampi Noodles #115513.
