Married, 1 daughter and 2 stepsons (1 grandchild on the way). Married to the world's pickiest eater. Love to cook, sew, garden, crochet and knit. Would rather cook meals than bake. I live to please the picky pallet of my husband and am always surfing for new ideas. I have become an expert at starting with a recipe or basic meal idea and changing it to suit his tastes. The results always please the rest of the crowd as well. Traditional foods are favorites in my family. My mother is Italian and my father is German. I have become especially fond of either of these categories of food. Taking recipes and changing them to suit everyone's tastes. Seafood Dishes.
