Lorretta Ruggiero

Lorretta Ruggiero is a freelance writer who loves cooking, gardening, traveling, and reading everything in sight. Her happiest moments are spent hosting family get-togethers or parties with friends. She is married to Classic Rock Bob and they have two amazing adult children, plus a houseful of fur and animals. She is an unashamed tree hugger who enjoys long walks in the woods. She cannot decide if her last meal would be a medium-rare filet mignon or tomato bruschetta, but she would definitely have a glass of red wine with either.
