About me
I recently moved to Coalmont, TN (March, 2007). It's a very rural town on the Cumberland Plateau. Eating out isn't a possibility here! There are 2 or 3 family-owned restaurants, but the meals are high in fat and calories.
I retired in 2005. I am an RN, and had worked in various hospital departments, hospice, and health insurance.
I enjoy gardening. Home grown veggies and herbs are great for cooking! The ground here is totally different from the sand I gardened in successfully during 37 years in Florida. I will have to re-learn everything about growing!
My Favorite Foods
I like a variety of foods, though I try to lean heavily on low fat, low sodium. I rarely use salt when I cook, and never have it on the table. If I saute, I always use olive oil, as a spray or in the smallest amount feasible. I have created my own seasoning for meat, chicken, and fish. It's heavy on paprika and also contains a wide variety of other herbs and spices. I based it on the NW "potlatch" and Memphis-style rubs. It's especially great on salmon and pork ribs.
Some favorites are sashimi (can't get THAT here!), Mediterranean, and almost anything grilled.
