First Place Cook

about me

I am semi-retired (I think), God hasn't let me know for sure. I have been in the real estate field for 15 years and recently turned in my license.

I am an avid reader and belong to a book club at our church. We have been nicknamed "The Fluff Club" because we don't like to read really heavy duty books. We stay more with the fiction christian best sellers. I also cook a lot and I am in the process of writing a cookbook for low-sugar diets. I am a member of First Place (a Bible based weight loss program).

My favorite cookbook is the one I am writing. I am taking all of my vast collection of recipes re-vamping them to low-fat and low sugar recipes. Did I mention that cooking is my passion. I have cooked on Wednesday night's for our church dinners, catered many events for local businesses and this summer I will be the cook for a mission trip to an Indian reservation in Nebraska.

My other passion is my family: my husband and I have two grown sons, one daughter-in-love, one granddaughter and one grandson (born on Christmas Day 2005, we never did get to eat dinner that day and he is worth it).

My pet peeve is: people who show disrespect to their spouses by calling them "my old lady or my old man". If this happens in my presence my husband has learned to step between me and the person speaking.

Favorite Foods:

My favorite dish to cook is Smoked Rice with Chicken, it is always a crowd pleaser and some people tell me it is their family favorite during the holidays.

I am famous for my cheesecakes and Southern Pound Cake.

My favorite restaurant is: Outback Steakhouse. I have not been able to completely duplicate their food. Some I can and then the others are still a mystery.
