about me

Cooking is my passion but I can never seem to follow the same recipe twice (or even once usually!). I'm beginning to think it might be a sickness?!? My DH always rolls his eyes at me because I'm constantly looking for new recipes to add to the "rotation", funny part is that I don't have a rotation since I'm always looking for, and trying new recipes! I'm seriously obsessed with looking up recipes every day. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ZAAR, it's so much fun!!!

I love food and think about it constantly, to me food is so much fun. Unfortunately my DH is an extremely picky eater. I usually make meals and adjust recipes so that he'll eat them (for example, no mushrooms, sour cream, mayo, seafood, the list goes on and on). But I also make some more adventurous recipes that he won't eat, usually for my lunches. I also have a DD who is 4 and an infant DS.

Now when DD was a baby I swore that I wasn't going to let her be a picky eater. I wanted her to be adventurous with food. And what was with kids who needed the crust cut off their bread?!? I never understood that... well fast-forward to now... OMG - DD is so picky! AND she makes me cut the crust off her bread! LOL I guess it's just a kid thing ;o) Oh well, I'm not giving up on her and will continue to try and persuade her to try new things.

Favorite Foods:

I'd definitely have to say that my favorite all-around recipe to make and eat is spaghetti with meat sauce. I never grow tired of it and usually make it at least once a week. I also love pizza, lasagna and pretty much anything with lots of garlic and onions.

Even though I just listed mostly Italian foods as my favorites, I make a variety of foods each week. For example, we'll usually have something Mexican one night, like enchiladas, BBQ chicken, salsa chicken, shepherd's pie, cabbage roll casserole, maybe something Asian inspired. It's always different and I like to mix it up.

I'm on and off of Weight Watchers over the years, so you'll notice that a lot of my recipes are low-fat and even include the points values.

We've recently declared Friday nights as pizza night. I like to use Beth's Pizza Crust, it's probably my most used Recipezaar recipe, along with Ultimate Pizza Sauce, I've been using both recipes for a few years now, which says a lot since I don't usually repeat recipes! And since I'm on weight watchers right now I roll my dough portion out really thin so I can still have a good sized pizza! LOL.
