I love my job, but I also enjoy cooking !! I love to make simple, easy dishes.  I really love to make appetizers.  I like a variety, so for me, appetizers are a great way to get the best of both worlds.  When I go to my Aunt"s in Florida we always make new recipes, most of which are appetizers. I like to take recipes, tweak them to make them my own.  The best part about cooking is being able to experiment and try new things.  I am not bashful and will try anything at least once.  Life is to short to just eat Macaroni and Cheese !! Here is one of my favorite, quick recipes.  I make this all the time.  It is super easy to make.  This recipe is great for parties.  My family and friends always request I bring it.  My husband loves it.  Enjoy :)
