Here's a photo of me (on right) with my friend Suzanne at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival (Oct.-Nov.2008)
I live less than four miles from the Happiest Place on Earth - but whenever it doesn't seem that way, I can always be cheered up by coming to this web site for cooking games and events with my Zaar friends.
For me Zaar's the Happiest Place on the Internet! Good food and friends can put a smile on anyone's face. I always find both here.
My Mission Statement is to have some fun every day. I believe that every day is a celebration of something. Your life, like your food, should never be boring.
My Cooking Style is like my sign (Gemini)…usually, it’s to cook as healthy as possible with the most colorful, most fresh ingredients. Then there’s my evil twin. She loves sinful, rich fatty foods that make her butt very big.
When Not Playing on Zaar I like reading and watching movies. I am trying to like running (thanks to the evil twin) and participating in 5K races.
Influences From 2003-2006, I took classes weekly from a native of China who taught us about interesting ingredients, and the history, geography and philosophy of each dish. So, I’m most comfortable making anything Asian but, originally a (Northern) California Girl, love “yuppie” wine country cuisine – sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese, avocadoes, etc.
My Favorite Cookbooks are the three by Janet and Greta Podleski.
I originally joined Zaar because of a cooking contest and I really look forward to each of the contests. Here are some of my past creations:





Pizza, quesadillas, grilled cheese...I have a big weakness for anything with cheese melted on it. I love my new panini maker.
