I am a wife, homemaker, and mother to a wonderful husband, a beautiful step-daughter and two undeniably handsome boys. My father was a general in the ARMY, so I grew up around the world, mainly in the middle east: Saudi Arabia and Egypt. I do have a few excellent middle eastern recipe's that I'll submit once I have the time; however, I mainly enjoy cooking All-American meals. My family and I now live in Deerfield Beach, FL, so cooking seafood on a regular basis is essential! Grilling anything is fun for a family gathering. I love making potato salad that my boys always devour... Cooking from scratch, my mother always cooked from scratch.
