about me

I am originally from Alberta, Canada.

Now living in NC.I stumbled upon recipezaar April 18, 2003 and have never logged out since that day !! I am married to the love of my life Joshua, my gift from God.I have one cat Oliver (Ollie) I work at a non profit organization as board secretary.I am a born again christian and without HIM I am nothing. I do not believe in chance meetings with anyone, I know and believe that God brings people into our lives for a reason. Everyday I need God's Grace to make it. I am a very humble, giving and loving person. I have one beautiful daughter Shantelle who was born Sept 27-82. I raised her on my own, and worked 2 jobs to support her. She just got married May 27-06.I am also the proud grandmother of Alexis Audrey born July 12-2005, and Ava born April 2 2007. I have a step family here in NC. I love, LOVE cookbooks and with just receiving more, my count is up to 500 now. Gooseberry Patch are my all time fav's and I have started to collect them now. I read them like novels and when I get a new one or get one as a gift THAT makes me happy.
My " zaar sister" Auntie Jan, I met in September when she came to visit me, and we had a BLAST. She is my long lost sister and kindered soul. Each year we have a NC gathering. I have also had the pleasure of meeting HobbyHunter AKA GCM AKA Vicki,Puppytipup AKA Julie and HappyHairy 2 AKA JJ. We all met up May 2008 while I was in SoCal with dh for a week vacation/work for him. So now; I would like to leave you with these thoughts;

A perfect day:




You have not lived a perfect day even though you have earned your money, unless you have done something for someone who CANNOT repay you.

It only takes a few second to open profound wounds in someones life, but it takes years to heal them.

Happinness comes through doors you didn;t even know you left open.

Don't cry because its over, smile because it happenned.

Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait to hear the answer.

Don't be afraid your life will end, be afraid it will never begin.

Ask yourself a question, will this matter a year from now?

Everyone laughs and cries in the same language.

Loving someone is not a crime, never telling them is.

Being kind is more important than being right.

WORRY LOOKS AROUND, SORRY LOOKS BACK, FAITH LOOKS UP !!

If your alone, I'll be your shadow
If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder
If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile
But anytime you need a friend, I'll be just me

My little brother passed away March 27, 2008 after a courgaeous battle against cancer and my life, heart and soul are sad and emtpy. I will forever love and miss him terribly. His legacy lives on in the lives of us all forever.

Favorite Foods:

I love all types of food. I do mainly low fat cooking. Love to try new recipes. My husband and I love to go out and ea. Although nothing can really top my mom's fried chicken, potato salad and cabbage rolls , as well as her home made baked bread. I have a few recipe plublished in some of thier books.
This is my rating system:
***** 5 stars EXCELLANT
**** 4 stars Good
*** 3 stars Fair
** 2 stars Ok
* 1 star wont make again


Now please note; I have NEVER found a recipe yet that I have not given 4 or 5 stars. I have NEVER rated a recipe 3 of lower ( that's not saying I won't come across one in the future).
