I am a warm-hearted mother and wife. I have a 1 1/2-year-old daughter who is my pride and joy, and a wonderful husband who makes our beautiful life possible. I soon will be graduating with my B.S. in Biology and cannot wait to start my career in the field. I love cooking anything chock full of grains and veggies. Those are the foods I really enjoy, and I feel good about feeding them to my family. I love the fact that even though my family has grown tremendously, everyone still comes together for every holiday, just with more in tow (children, friends, in-laws). Perfecting recipes: I can always find a small addition that turns a good recipe exquisite. So many, but I would have to say the time I made some rice that would just not get tender - and my dear husband ate it anyway (I did not).
