about me

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads. I home school two of my kids also and have had to go to work part time. As a result, during the school year I cook less and my husband has had to cook more (my job is 2nd shift). So I try to keep the more complicated recipes that I tag for the weekends!

Our beloved 14 yo German Shepherd passed away July 2006 and now we have two cats, Tigger and Cindy (a Tortie).

Fav. cookbooks: Essential Slow Cooker Recipes (HEALTHY recipes!), Healthy Recipes from the Heart of our Homes (Bosch and pressure cooker recipes), Baby Let's Eat, a couple of cookbooks that my dad put together, one regular and one vegan. I also have a cookbook that my dad put together from a hand written cookbook I made my mom out of all her recipe cards years ago when I was, what?, 10 or 12? I called it Recipes Galore.

Favorite Foods:

Fav. holiday dish: Ham with Gingersnaps "Ham With Gingersnaps"

Fav. food: chocolate bakery (not chocolate bars) esp. anything mint chocolate!! Ever have (Double Chocolate Mint Bars)? Also "Pecan Praline Bars"

Love seafood, Italian, and Mexican, cream soups.

I just love to eat! There's not much that I don't like. I like most "spicy", but not spicy hot, foods: curry, cumin, yummm! Unfortunately, the rest of my family doesn't share the same likings.
