About Me

My photo
I am a mother of a very beautiful and brilliant daughter, a grandmother to a very delightful and super intelligent granddaughter that steals my heart,a dashing and curious little grandson and wonderful son-in-law. I am a recent retiree from the armed forces (Army) of 24 years. Active in my local church and mentor young women on being the best that they can be. Currently I am living my dream out loud. I have always wanted to become a Chef, Having met the requirements to call myself a chef, I am now in my final stretch at the Institute of Culinary Arts at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha,NE to complete my Associates degree as a culinarian. Hosting social gatherings is my element of comfort and now i can do it like a professional Chef! Cooking it up, is comfort for the soul. Yes, I,m living my dream out loud and loving it!
