about me

I am a wife to an adorable husband, a mom to one 13 year old son, and vice principal to 900 lovely teenagers. In my spare time I create original jewelry, stained glass, finish home improvement projects AND cook! After a hard day at work I love to come home, create a wonderful meal and sit down with my family to share our day. Cooking is my way of taking a step back to remember the simple things. It's all about combinations...combinations of flavors and textures. Somewhat like life only on a much smaller scale. My highlight of the day is sitting down over a delightful, interesting meal and playing..."What was the worst part about your day? What was the best part?" It's reconnecting and it's sharing life with the ones I love. The fact that it is done over food makes the food a special part of the process. Sit down, linger, enjoy and learn. How many memories do you have that center around the kitchen table or a great meal? A lot I bet! That's what it's all about. Now and forever.

Favorite Foods:

Favorite foods....too complex. Depends upon the mood, the desire and the ingredients on hand. My husband should be thankful that my "favorite spouse" doesn't have similar requirements! The healthy eater in me loves anything from the ocean or a wonderfully creative salad with surprising combinations that I would have never thought of. The bad eater in me loves all appetizers and fried foods. The bad eater is suppressed... intentionally.
