about me

I grew up in rural east Texas before being transplanted to the beautiful state of Kentucky at the age of 17....so for the most part, my 'hard drive' is programmed for rich, southern style food. Recipes for things like mashed potatoes, cream gravy, pot roast, chicken fried steak and chili are burned in to my DNA!! I also receive an incredible amount of joy from feeding others....another trait I attribute to my southern roots.

In May of '09 I joined my very first Zaar World Tour!

My amazing team-mates and I made up the super sizzlin' Sultans of Spice!

What a wonderful, fun experience the Tour was. I met some incredible people and tried some fabulous recipes that challenged me and made me a better chef!

Last year I was fortunate enough to be ADOPTED for PAC!


AND I'm currently playing in a variety of Zaar Tag Games!!!

Favorite Foods:

I love good food, no matter what the style or particular ingredients.....but as a general rule, my most favorite foods are full of fire......Tex-Mex, Thai, anything with lots of flavor and plenty of heat. I will say that being involved with Zaar, and in particular the World Tour 5, has really broadened my culinary horizons and gotten me out of my small little 'kitchen box'! I've prepared so many new and wonderful dishes and now things that once may have seemed too exotic or complex are part of my regular diet!
I garden in the summer (and just last year learned to can) and I find a divine pleasure in preparing meals from my homegrown, organic veggies and herbs.
