hello!I have been cooking professionally for over 15 years.I am the proud parent of three children a teenager and two "tweens".I am extremely social,and love to cook for my friends and my children's friends.I love outdoor get togethers...beach bar b q,camping trip or just entertaining on the lanai.good food + good friends = good times ! donot have a favorite.What I feel like cooking is usually directly affected by my mood.feeling laid back..something quick and easy,trying to impress..gourmet,dieting this week..healthy.I frequently have "pop-in" guests so I like to have frozen backups in the freezer I can quick thaw and serve. I dont know how or why this was started, but x-mas is a blur of sugar cookies(I don't think any body actually cares to eat them anymore..the focus is more on decorating them) evryday! lol. christmas dinner 1992,my lasagna was so dry you could choke a horse with it. My guests were trying bravely to choke it down when my 8 year old niece announced to everyone "this stuff really sucks"
