Me in my kitchen, and at the Wild game.
I am a photographer, portrait and fine art, and I am a yoga instructor. Besides cooking, I enjoy fitness and yoga, reading, organizing, gardening, puzzles, family, and HOCKEY. GO WILD!!!! I love to cook for my large husband...he is a natural powerbuilder and has a lot of muscle to feed. People ask how he got so "huge" and he has to answer, my cooking of course!

We both work out a lot, so we eat a lot of healthy food, so I cook a LOT! The recipes I post and save to my cookbooks are usually healthy and lower calorie, or can be adapted to be so.
I like to listen to talk radio while I'm in the kitchen, cooking shows are a favorite. The Splendid Table http://splendidtable.publicradio.org and KCRW's Good Food http://www.kcrw.com/etc/programs/gf are my favorites!

Garlic is the best!

Yummy veggies!
I love to cook healthy. I like filling comfort foods, natural whole foods, and lots of flavor! Soups, stews, anything with lots of veggies and meat. I love trying new things, but I really hate eating anything I don't prepare myself.
My favorite foods are berries, peaches, hot cereal, poultry, green beans and broccoli, cauliflower, frozen yogurt, and cream cheese sandwiches! And garlic.
