Jodie's smile and dimples are a day brightener! She brings sunshine to all our gatherings. Adventure and enthusiasm is her “spice” to life.

And it seems she can do it all....electrical work, hotel planning and management, raising two young men, teaching and maintaining friendships(and much more). Jodie is never too busy for her family and friends, but is sometimes too busy to cook! The recipe is a summer favorite, fresh, easy and tasty.

Thank you Jodie!
