I'm a Mother of 4 sons and 4 step-sons!!! Yes, I cook a lot because I have a lot to feed. And being all boys, they can eat!!! I'm an IT professional at a major insurance company in Columbus, Ohio. I've worked there 30 years and just survived a major layoff (400 in IT alone). I recently turned a hobby into a small business. I make silk flower and plant arrangements. I recently wrote a book on how to clean and take care of your silk plants along with tips for what to do with Wedding arrangments after the wedding, etc...

My husband co-wrote a book with James "Buster" Douglas, former boxing heavy-weight champion. It's a diabetes cook book with inspiriational stories as well. We were all recently interviewed by one of CNNs iReporters and his mother who publishes articles on Associated Content.

Maybe we'll publish our famous BBQ chicken wings that everyone is going crazy over. The director of the Memorial Golf Tournament suggested he would like to have them at the tournament!!!!
