About me
I'm a forty-something redheaded ex-Californian living in the land of Starbucks, Microsoft and occasional sun breaks, where life is good and we're working on excellent.
I'm a retired Nurse turned computer geek and a card carrying foodie.
Married to my best friend who happens to like something different to eat every night, this caused me to have to expand my cooking repertoire over the past 10 years.
I enjoy taking pictures of dishes I've prepared. I also enjoy traveling and am an obessesive viewer of the Food Network and Travel Channel. I worship at the temple of Anthony Bourdain and The Barefoot Contessa and desperately want to be one of their friends.
Since I was diagnosed with Diabetes last year I'm learning to cook dishes that are diabetic-friendly. I've discovered that controlling my refined carb intake is key and that a diet high in fiber has helped to stabilize my blood sugars and shed 160 pounds.
My Favorite Foods
If it's ethnic I'll eat it.
I'll choose a cheesy gooey lasanga over triple fudge brownies any day of the week.
I grew up eating poor Italian foods. If it could be grown in a home garden, we grew it and Mom canned it or cooked with it. I'll never forget her Summer Casserole (Corn, Squash, Tomatoes and Cheese) or her Watermelon Rind Pickles.
