about me

I moved from the central valley of California to southwest Missouri just three weeks before the "great ice storm of 2007". Despite being without power for twelve days, we are enjoying the midwest very much though we miss our family and try to visit them often in California.

I am married to a police officer and work as a part-time television reporter. We have a three year old daughter who makes us laugh every day. She also loves helping me cook. She definitely has her mommy's (and daddy's) sweet tooth! I am also expecting our second child in September. The cravings (and repulsions) are pretty intense this time around so I'm glad to have Recipezaar to find exactly what I'm in the mood for on any particular day.

I enjoy traveling and had the opportunity to spend a year in Cambodia as an associate missionary working at an orphanage on the Gulf of Thailand. This experience introduced me to southeast Asian cooking which I have loved ever since. I also love traveling to the east coast...especially New York City where my husband and I spent our honeymoon and first anniversary.

I also enjoy swimming, horseback riding, scuba diving, going to movies and spending time with my family. I especially enjoy cooking for family and friends.

Favorite Foods:

I love Thai food and like to make massaman curry, pineapple beef, garlic chicken and lemon grass soup. I have a few favorite Thai restaurants in different cities where I've lived.

My husband and his fellow officers in California loved my calzone. I have yet to make it for the guys here in Missouri. Thanks to Zaar, I have plenty of great recipes to feed them!
