about me

I am an interior designer for a non-profit Christian organization. I am also a wife, and mother to two crazy fun girls. I love to entertain friends, but hate every-day cooking.

My dream is to have a kitchen large enough for friends to sit around the island and chat while I prepare a wonderful meal for them; but not so large I can't keep it clean or work efficiently. I never use my small (72 sq ft) kitchen as an excuse not to entertain; I just have smaller, more frequent parties.

I love Recipe Zaar for its great variety of choices. I am a cookbook junky, but zaar has got me looking at them less and using zaar more. I still love to thumb through my cookbooks, but I always check zaar to see if there might be something better, easier, quicker, or similar to add to my cookbooks.

I love to plan parties - themes, food, decorations the whole shebang. My favorite party planning book is "Do it for Less Parties". It has great food planned around a specific theme with decoration and entertainment ideas.

Favorite Foods:

I love mexican food, strawberries, shrimp, peach cobbler.
