I'm an animal lover and have a retired racing greyhound and a Peke-poo maltese who will be 17 May 06. I have an online business www.giasgifts.com as well! Baking... I love to bake decadent desserts Everyone love my cheesecake recipe. I have to make it every year for Christmas! My Cheesecake, carrot cake and a couple of others. I have to say that my chicken soup handed down from my mom comes out perfect every time! A couple of cutout cookie recipes just wouldn't hold together and had to trash all the dough.
