about me

Although hardly your traditional southern girl, I come from a huge southern family and have been cooking since I was eight years old. Cooking is more then a hobby, I genuinely get so much pleasure from cooking and providing the people I love with great food. I have to attest, that it truly IS the way to a man's heart! In my opinion, there is nothing more admirable to hold then the truest essence of a homemaker, or as the term is coined today "household engineer"! I am a licensed real estate agent working full-time from home and a soccer mom to my 9 year old son. I am a busy bee but somehow find time to indulge in some of my many passions: dancing, photography, sewing and interior design. I have vowed to learn spanish this year so perhaps that will come to pass. Finding that perfect balance is what I strive to do everyday and so far so good. Happy Cooking!!

Favorite Foods:

I love all food but typically we tend to swagger between asian and southern fare with a bit of italian and mexican mixed in every now and again. We eat very healthy yet I have found a way to never spare great flavor and taste and especially presentation! I have subscribed to Cooking Light magazine for over 5 years. I cook at least 3-4 nights per week. One of my favorite past times is to sit and read cookbooks. We live in Texas so grilling, BBQ and picnics are a given and happen often. I love it when I find great recipes and recipezaar is a great place to share them.
