I am a happily married woman who loves to cook for her husband, and anyone else who appreciates my cuisine. Besides cooking, I work in the medical device field as a QA Auditor. Also, I like to keep up with current events/politics, enjoy spending time with my pet birds (1 Senegal parrot, 2 cockatiels, and 4 parakeets), reading, bargain-hunting, and farmers markets. I love to cook family style meals, slow-cooker meals, chicken dishes, PA Dutch food, and occassionaly an international dish. My favorite family cooking tradition is cooking VERY LARGE amounts of food on the weekend, and trying to come up with various dishes out of the meal. Also, growing up we had a lot of polish food around the holidays, which I have tried to recreate to some extent.
