I grew up in Tucson but moved to Colorado in 1989. I am 54 and the married mother of three grown children, a 6-1/2 year-old grandson Skyler

and identical (or so the doctors say - we don't think so!) twin granddaughters Alanna and Brenna born in Sept 2006.

My daughter and the twins live with us as does my 78 year old Dad, so I have a few mouths to feed, all with different likes/dislikes. We now have 2 dogs - (our deaf, blind, insulin dependent Shitzu Molly just went "to see God" on a balloon, according to Skyler), a Long Haired Mini-Daschund Penny and an American Eskimo Lacey. We often grand-dog sit for our son's two Yorkie princesses and love having them around!
I don't create recipes so much as I test them and often modify them for our dietary needs. I love to cook (when I have time) and look for great new recipes. Sunday is the day I spend a lot of time on meal preperation because I like to have a big family meal. This site has been so addictive and I absolutely love the benefits of the Premium Membership.
I LOVE the benefits of my premium membership and will never let it go as Recipezaar has made me a better cook for sure!!
I like almost everything but love mussels in any kind of sauce, pasta, Mexican food, wings that are crispy and have either a great sauce on them or a great sauce to dip them in, meals that are easy for after work, and meals that are a bit more complicated for Sunday.
We are often low(er) carbing in my house so I look for recipes I can modify to have no added sugar, white flour, potatoes, or other starchy veggies.
I won't even think about making a recipe that has a huge list of ingredients and it is the first thing I look at when I find a recipe that sounds good.
