I am a 30-ish homemaker living with my pastor-husband, toddler daughter and two dogs in Southern California. My interests include (but are not limited to) cooking, wholistic health care, dogs, football, parenting, reading, shopping, and staying as far away from cleaning as possible! I love trying new recipes and ethnic favorites. One tradition I hope to continue for the second year is Shrimp Bisque for Christmas Eve. Other than that, we don't have many traditions yet. My best meal was a wine flight dinner I made for Easter this past spring. Burning jambalaya this fall, even though I know not to open the lid while it is cooking.
