About me
I love to cook and bake. I can't cook a recipe without extemporizing (doing my own thing and/or changing something about it). I love to convert recipes to healthy alternatives. My DH has high cholesterol and high blood pressure, so I have to reduce salt and cholesterol when possible. I have 2 energetic hungry boys that I'm trying to keep fed and healthy, so recently trying to go organic to reduce the chemical load on their systems. I love baking breads of all sorts. I love using whole grains. I'm curious about employing more soy in my baking and cooking, but haven't really had much success in the "baking" category. That said, unfortunately, my MIL has recently been diagnosed with Celiacs disease so I'm also learning about gluten free baking and expanding my gluten free recipe base. A few notes about me: when I don't know how many servings my recipe makes I usually under-estimate. So if you try something and decide "Good Lord, that's more than 6 servings..." sorry, at least you'll have tasty leftovers. Also, I'm a terrible speller! I majored in math and meteorology. I don't mind if you politely point out an error, I'll fix it if I can. Finally, my prep times probably aren't accurate... some times I'm pokey sometimes I'm quick, depends on how familiar I am with a recipe.
