about me

I'm a married mother of three. My son is grown, but I have two daughters still at home. My husband is the cook of the house. We love trying new recipes. I am trying to adopt a healthy, low carb routine and pretty much follow the South Beach plan, since it's a longterm solution.

I also have a love for photography. I am an avid nature photographer, but I photograph a large variety of subject matter - including food!

We usually set aside a weekend every few months to cook several dishes in large quantities, which we then freeze in containers. This allows us to eat well during the week. All I have to do when we get home from work is cook rice or pasta, heat up the stew, sauce, or gumbo from the freezer, add a couple of vegetables on the side and dinner's done! No fast food!

Favorite Foods:

Pretty much anything that my husband cooks:

Healthy eating aside, I LOVE my husband's barbecued pork spare ribs. Cooked to perfection for several hours. This is REAL barbecue - not grilling.

I also love a good, medium rare beef rib eye steak, served with green beans smothered with onions and thick cut bacon. And, of course, a fully loaded baked potato. Yum!

Spaghetti sauce with chunky bell peppers and onions, fresh mushrooms, and lots of ground beef.

I'm not a big fan of sweets, but I am the baker in the house. I'm known for my pecan pie, made from scratch carrot cake, and chocolate chip and pecan cookies. I enjoy cake decorating, but don't have the time.
