I am Mom to a beautiful 3 1/2 year old little girl, married to my soul mate and I love my career- Im a defense lawyer and part time prosecutor all rolled into one! In my down time, cooking is my hobby! desserts, main dishes, casseroles, vegetarian meals, soups Christmas foods my Mom prepared each year Paula Deen's Japanese Fruitcake...a three layer extravaganza I put together three weeks postpartum My grandmother was from Australia and I made a date/toffee type pudding that turned out terribly.....for a big family get together!
