Cinnamon-Sugar Plum Cake Recipe - Cooking Index
I'm a social worker running my own practice. In addition, I'm getting a doctorate in social work. So most of my time is spent either working with patients or writing my dissertation. Still, no matter what's on my schedule, nothing can stop me from going into the kitchen. During the week, I make the time to pore over food magazines to find recipes I want to try. On Saturdays, I cook for friends -- because next to cooking, sharing the results is my favorite thing to do.
