Cooking and Karaoke

In my down time I enjoy cooking and baking, I love trying out new recipes, playing with unique flavors and textures. I consider myself "Master of Sides" I enjoy hosting dinners and giving my friends and family a beautiful experience, creating long time memories and laughter. Speaking of laughter, if you are ever in need of a good laugh, just point me in the direction of karaoke, I'm sure you'll have a great one. My go to song is "Let's Hear it for the Boy" by Deniece Williams, what a classic!
