about me

About me is a whole lot so I'll narrow it down a bit. I love my family: the hubby and two beautiful, spoiled kids. We lived in Vegas for quite a while and moved to Florida. Since it's almost near impossible to have the hubby be an E-6 and me stay at home, I decided to go back to work.

I love my husband so much. He never lets us do with-out, he protects us (and the country), he is very smart and he has such a great personality. We are still working on being handy around the house... LOL! He is that one in the party that can get along with almost everyone. He is true Cajun, raised in the deep south of Louisiana, so now I know what real Cajun food is.

I really love my job as a gov't contractor. The people here treat me very well. I am truly blessed to have this job.

I was previously in the military for 7 1/2 years. I have been to Uzbekistan (in support of OEF) and to Turkey(in support of ONW) (separate trips). I worked in the supply career field and pushed mo bags around (mobility bags carry our chemical warfare gear for deployments). Then I worked at a rescue squadron where I got to go on the 2 deployments above. I loved working there, but my boss was a jerk I applied to go into communications and was accepted. I went to school and was seperated from DH for 5 months for tech school It was hard. After school, we got pregnant with our DS. Sometimes he can be the sweetest boy. J/k, I love him. He is four! I heard boys don't grow out of it. Oh well, I always have my DD (2 years old)

I love being on a low carb diet even if my recipes don't show it. 1/2 of them are from my mother-in-law (who happens to be a very good cajun cook) and some are from researching my Danish heritage. Some are because we love the recipe and want to share.

I love scrapbooking and putting together my own cookbook from this website. I have over 300 recipes in a binder and I am still collecting. Someday it will be a published book

I just love the upgrade version of Recipezaar. I just tell everyone about this site and how much I get out of it. It's worth every penny! I have found so many great ideas, recipes and advice. So thanks to all who puts into this site!
