about me

I am a 37 y/o mother of four boys, one girl, three dogs, two cats and one husband(lol). We love football, especially high school and college - GO Big Orange! I am a nurse by day and "gourmet chef" by night . Cooking is a passion for me. I love to try new recipes. And I get so much pleasure out of cooking for my friends and family- to me, it is just another way of showing them love. My family has grown by 3 in the last month and my children range in age from 8 to 17. I am always on the lookout for low cost, relatively healthy meals to feed my ever growing family of seven. Got any really great ideas, hints, tips....feel free to email me- please =]

Favorite Foods:

I especially love the fall and winter, and the great foods that accompany them. I love, love, love garlic - and I sneak it into anything I can. Garlic, tomatoes and onions are my most favorite foods on earth. I love cooking with fresh herbs, anything but cilantro - I hate that stuff. My new favorite is tarragon, yummy. I am famous among my friends and family for my chili, soups, cheeseburger pie and lasagna. I am still trying to get my cheeseburger pie and lasagna down on paper, but it is so hard - I have always just thrown it together with no measurements. When going out to eat, I will always, always go for the seafood, although I dont cook it very often at home bacause I cant get the boys to eat it. I especially love sushi and any shellfish. Yum!
I try many more recipes on Zaar than I actually rate, but because I think that taste is subjective, I will only post reviews on those that my family and I really liked. So for that reason, you will never see an unfavorable review from me.
