My favorite things are spending the day with my husband and dog, than coming in a close second is planing, papering, and eating a great meal. Salads, casseroles, and ethnic food of any kind. Making ethnic foods that match the seasons and holidays, such as Schnitzel for October fest and Carnitas for Cinco de Mayo. I work for a large company and when they held a bake off I won. The first time I broiled a steak I set it on fire.
