I love to cook and am currently studying towards my Personal Chef certification. I am married to a wonderful man and have a good life, job and friends. Anything and everything with the exception of game and liver! Our family is not much on sweets, but it works out because I do not enjoy baking at all. I also, love the challenge of eating something scrumptious at a restaurant and then coming home to crack the recipe. Thanksgiving dinner! I live for TG! I wait in anticipation every year for TG to roll around. I start planning my menu in early October. I keep the staples that everyone expects to see on the table at TG but, I do try to add one new thing each year. I have a lemon chicken and rice soup that we simply adore, as well as a lemon chicken and garlic penne pasta recipe. I always try to come up with new ways of incorporating the flavors we love into new types of dishes. By far, my most requested recipe is my roast chicken, which can be made in the oven as well as on a rotisserie. Most all of my tragedies have occurred while baking. It just does not interest me and I do not enjoy doing it.
