I'm married and live in Phoenix AZ with my Husband, 5 year old son Justin, 19 year old daughter (full time college student) Madison, & 23 year old son who will be leaving soon after having joined the U.S. Navy. My husband is a recently retired SMSGT after spending 21 years in the Air Force and now works as a District Manager for a Well known Tax Preparation company. After recently being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis I have become a stay home Mom for the first time in twenty years. Though I miss being out in the faster paced world I'm looking forward to exploring and expanding upon my many hobbies and interests, especially cooking on a much broader scale. I love coming up with my own recipes and making flavorful dishes and comfort foods that are low fat or fat free. I love cooking different ethnic foods. Living in the Southwest I'm greatly influenced by authentic Mexican cuisine. I also enjoy Thai and Japanese cuisine. I love Chicken and Salmon dishes so I'm always looking for new ways to try those.
