I live in Moorhead, Ia and work in Denison, Ia. I work at the hospital almost a year now. I have an 19 and 23 year old son and so far they have eaten alot of my experiments but haven't complained....much anyway, lol. Mexican and Italian. I love quick simple meals due to my strange work hours,so the crockpot is my best friend. I also love experimenting with potato dishes and vegetables. New traditions being made all the time. Its hard to pin one down. I'm a casserole queen and can almost make a casserole out of anything. My roast chicken and crock pot roast are pretty good too. I make a great Enchilada sauce. I can't fry chicken to save my soul. So I roast them in the oven instead.
