I have a full time job in the software industry and I'm also a professional photographer, running a studio business in my home. I'm a busy Mom of a 3 yr old daughter, and have another on the way. So I'm always trying to find impressive dishes that are easy to make, and please my very picky husband. Thai Thai Thai!! And pretty much any other Asian food too. I also like to make unusual soups and appetizers too! I'm always searching for great crock pot recipes for weeknights. My Mom hates to cook, so it is amazing that both my brother and I have turned into quite gourmet cooks! I do Thanksgiving at my house, and he does Christmas. I have a very picky husband, who often shoots down some of my favorite dishes. Most things, I'm lucky to get an "it's OK".
