I am professional trainer who travels weekly for work. This means I am an extreme home-body on the weekends and prefer to cook at home or entertain anytime verses going out to dinner! My other joys, outside of cooking, include painting, fitness, do-it-yourself weekend projects and quality time with my hubby and beloved lab, Stella. I love to create appetizers, soups, sandwiches and casseroles! My husband is the grill master and also an avid outdoorsman, so we are always looking for a new marinade or an exciting way to enjoy a classic cut of meat, fish or wild game. My family makes their own homeade horseradish bi-annually. We smoke a delicious batch of salmon each summer and brew our own beer. The greatest thing about our family is that we all have very liberal pallets and love nothing more than to try a new dish!
