I am a 2 year breast cancer survivor. I work full time for a software company in technical support. I am a student at our local college and will have my AS degree next year in Library Science. I started a jewelry making business this year. I am mother of two, stepmother of 2 and grandmother of 4. I love to cook and bake, and I love to read. I live at a beautiful lake on the Central Coast of California. It is a new up and coming wine region so we do wine tasting and events. I love to cook dishes with lots of FLAVOR! I love goat cheese and feta cheese and I love to make sauces. I love to bake desserts but my husband isn't a sweet eater so I end up bringing them to work, which has made me very popular! Cioppino on Christmas Eve, Hoppin John on New Years Day and the full spread for Thanksgiving! I made all the food for my daughter's baby shower last year. I think it was a big hit. People couldn't believe I made all the food! Too many to mention, but I learned from each one!!
