about me

I live Anchorage with my husband and almost year old daughter. While I don't have much spare time anymore, theoretically, I love to exercise, play with our dog, read, study the Bible and volunteer, especially with children. Oh, and have I mentioned my dream of just one solitary hour completely to myself to do whatever I please, even such things as might be labeled "unproductive"?!
My favorite cookbook is the one I am creating right now from recipes I've collected over the past 10 years. As of right now, I've got over 400 recipes in it! (I should put some of those online, huh?!) I also love the Joy of Cooking for its resources, and the Taste of Home Holiday cookbook for whole menu ideas; it's fun to do them every now and then.
I am adding this part as of May 2008--my favorite cookbook no longer is really my favorite because I'm having to learn to cook all over again, so to speak, I was diagnosed with celiac sprue, so now I'm in the process of learning to adapt all of my "normal" foods to the celiac regime. Oh well, life is good, eh?

Favorite Foods:

Healthy foods (to my husband's dismay at times), sesame marinated tofu, barbecue chicken with rice, chocolate soy ice cream (as the occasional treat), and lots of coffee!!! I do love to cook desserts for others--most famous probably black forest brownies, red velvet cake, or strawberry layer cake. My typical meals are salads with whatever I happen to have in the house, anything works!!
