I love everything about cooking! I delight in the aromas that fill the kitchen, I enjoy tweaking recipes to make them my own, and I have a good time winging it by simply combining the ingredients that I have on hand. I especially love that cooking draws people to the table. There's no better way to enjoy your family and friends then by having great times and wonderful conversations over a meal. I look forward to "mixing" it up with all of you here! I've been a message board moderator for Meredith since 2007. I've also been participating and working on message boards since 1997. I have a Liberal Arts degree and have worked as a newspaper reporter and editor.
