I grew up in a small town in southern California and lived there for 20 years. Now I am a military wife and I have in one year moved four times! I never thought I would move away from my home town let alone California, but I am glad that I have seen other cities and states. I love cooking for my little family, it gives me a great sence of accomplishment and sometimes it helps me relax. I also love finding new recipes! I think I'm too new at cooking to have had any cooking tragedies yet. I choose safe recipes that have familiar ingredients and cooking methods!
