We've just recently moved to the Pocono Mountains, PA area and I've been very lucky to be able to work from home several days a week. This has given me the opportunity to prepare home cooked meals more frequently. I love preparing soups and salads, but I also enjoy using my crock pot and grill easy family meals. I am starting all of my own traditions. My mother did not like cooking, so I've learned how to cook from experimenting with recipes, taking tips from friends around the world and having a very tolerant and hungry husband. Lobster tails on the grill... and baking on the gas grill... I really don't know how to prepare pork recipes for my hubbie... I don't eat pork so, it's really a challenge.
