A Cougar In The Kitchen
I'm an Ivy League educated, retired Healthcare IT executive specializing in EHR advocacy, now happily ensconced in a second career as SAH wife and mom. Married to a man who makes me laugh every day. Love cooking, being a more relaxed Tiger Mom to our teen son and blogging about food, friends and family. Email me at: acougarinthekitchen@gmail.com
