about me

It wasn't until I got married (2004) that I discovered I love to cook! Almost all of my recipes come from Zaar now, although I will never part with my Mennonite Community Cookbook. (It remains the most informative cookbook I own, and is the style of food I grew up on.)
I believe in eliminating unnatural additives in our diet by avoiding prepared foods whenever possible. I have made my own cream of chicken soup, barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, and more! If I had more time, maybe lived in colonial days, I would do more of that...
But I also work full time in a church-based preschool teaching 3 year-olds. During the school year, lesson planning keeps me very busy.
My mother-in-law recently moved in with us, so we're trying to work out the sharing of kitchen duties. I've got to get her to be computer-savvy, so she can cook off of Zaar, too!

Favorite Foods:

My husband says he married a real chef and is a very good sport about me trying new recipes. But every once in awhile he will beg me for a frozen pizza... go figure! I love cooking for him, and he mostly prefers to eat healthy so I like to find tasty low-fat recipes for us.
I on the other hand like ice cream, brownies, and ice cream with brownies...!
