I have always loved to cook, ever since I was a young girl. I was always in the kitchen helping my mom. I also love dogs, and have raised collies for 23 years, and cocker spaniels for almost 2 years. I now have 4 collies and 2 cocker spaniels. I am also learning to show my dogs, and have had my male cocker in the show ring several times. What fun!! I am a mother to one son, Mike, age 25, and 3 step children, Becca 21, Paul 19 & Casey 17. My loving husband, Paul and I enjoy bird watching, biking, and being with each other. Paul also loves to cook, and I enjoy it when he makes me those special breakfasts! Pizza, most chicken dishes,,,chicken is my favorite food! (after chocolate, of course) My home made pizza, everyone loves it!
