about me

I am...I am not sure how to complete that sentence anymore. Six months ago I would have written that I am a single woman in her thirties who has a passion for teaching, scrapbooking, traveling, reading, writing, and cooking/baking. A lot has changed in my life. I am now a newly married thirty-something-year-old who seems to have a lot more time for cooking and baking. I have moved about 2000 kilometers to where my husband and I are making our home. In order to do this, I had to resign from my teaching position that I had held for over six years. I now find myself substitute teaching on some days, staying home and scrapbooking, reading, writing, blogging, taking pictures, and yes, cooking and baking a whole lot more than I ever have before.

Favorite Foods:

I love a variety of foods. Having lived in South America for several years, you will find that I tend to cook a lot of South American meals. My husband and I both love trying foods from different countries and so far have Ethiopean food at the top of our 'favourites' list.

We both enjoy cooking and are having a lot of fun combining our knowledge and love for food. One thing that we like to do is experiment with recipes that we love. In the past number of years my husband has lost 80 lbs by watching the fat content in foods, so we are constantly revising recipes to make them low fat and/or fat free. It is amazing how easy it is to substitute ingredients or simply read the labels on groceries at the grocery store in order to get the one that has the lowest fat content.
