Full time Mom and a full time nurse (though I'm lucky, I work 3 12-hour shifts a week in a Pediatric Emergency room.) I'm a graduate of Rutger's College and I'm currently attending Seton Hall University for my Master's in Nursing. I love to bake and I love cooking with fresh, home grown vegetables & herbs from my garden. My Mom is my biggest inspiration. I love Thanksgiving dinner at her house, she makes the best turkey (never dry) and the greatest gravy. We always joke that her tombstone will say she was the best gravy maker...lol. I consider every great recipe I discover a cooking triumph. Too many to list!! I've been cooking since I was 12 and I can't count the amount of times that I have thrown an entire meal out. Lately my biggest problem is burning things when I have them under the broiler.
