about me

Hi Everyone, Brenda here formerly known as Nick's Mom.
Thanks for visiting my about me page.


I live in Green Bay, Wi. Home of our beloved Green Bay Packers.




Family Day at Lambeau Field

I am married to the man of my dreams and we have a teenage son and 2 fur babies Kelly and Pudding.



I currently co-host the To Go-Picnic-Camping Forum and the Holiday Forum, with a side gig as one of the PAC (Pick a Chef) Hosts 2x a year.



PAC Spring 2009 has now ended. If you would like to know more about the event, click here

Baking bread is a passion of mine. I have so many bread and roll recipes saved to try here on Zaar that I am set for a lifetime!


Just a few of our favorite Zaar recipes....




You may notice that I leave quite a few 4 & 5 star reviews. In all honesty it is because I tend to choose recipes based on ingredients and prep that I am familiar or comfortable with. If something just didn't work out for me I will leave a review with no stars and admit it was probably an error made on my end. I need to be a little more adventurous as a few recipes I thought would be "just ok" totally blew me away with how delicious they were.


My nephew RyGuy has joined the site as an aspiring young chef. He would be tickled pink for you to check out his recipes.

~Events I've participated in~

(A special thanks to my dear friends Susie D & Saturn for welcoming me so warmly into my first PAC event in Spring 2006 and getting me crazy hooked!
Charmie777 was my very 1st "PAC mommy" and made a former "lurker with few recipes" feel really special)

Favorite Foods:

Favorite Foods: German Food especially laugenbrezeln & schweinebraten, chicharrones, gallo pinto, garlic, homemade breads, Mexican and Italian food. A good pot roast with mashed potatoes and gravy is high on our list as well.
My absolute favorite cocktail is Caipirinha, Brazil's national cocktail made with cachaça, sugar and lime.

The one food I have tried to like and just can't acquire a taste for is cilantro. I can eat it if it is in a very small qty in a recipe, but can always tell it's in there.
