Single mom of two teenagers, I love to cook, read, travel, Tribune Crosswords, concerts and movies... Any type of Soul Food...it's like chicken soup for the soul. Cooking big meals each and every holiday of the year. It's almost ridiculous, but my family and friends look forward to it. Trying to cook things from different cultures. I love Middle Eastern food as we have a large middle eastern population in the metro Detroit area. Making a cake from scratch. I don't do well with baking, but I'm still learning and trying. I'm always looking for recipes and tips.
