I'm a former career woman and now stay- at-home mom. I enjoy chatting with others on forums and reading books. Ever since I was a small child, I've loved to cook. I'm blessed with two beautiful daughters and doubly blessed because one of them loves to cook too! Mexican foods, Italian foods, and sometimes Asian-inspired stir-fries. Grilling Copper River Salmon on the grill - Martha Stewart style with a cedar plank. I make great pasta salads and pasta dishes that I've made up myself. I've also discovered some wonderful recipes on this web site that have been big hits in our family. Once I undercooked a turkey for Thanksgiving. I thought it was thawed, but it wasn't. The outside was crisp, but the center was raw. A disaster.
