I've been married for 9 years to my wonderful husband, Rob. I am a certified dental assistant but currently working as a dental receptionist. I prefer to bake (my way of relaxing) but I have come to enjoy cooking (always trying new recipes). My other hobbies (other than recipe collecting) include running, music, cross-stitching, reading, and cars. I love baking cookies...any and every kind of cookie. My favorite meals include either pasta or chicken. Every time I have to cook for a larger gathering, I always have new recipes for everybody to try. People always know they are my 'food guinea pigs'. Every new dish and/or meal is a cooking triumph. I love doing different things. Where shall I start? Too many to list but I do believe I am getting better. As long as it is somewhat edible....
