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!


Some of 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.

Thanks for the comment. The black eyed peas sound like a wonderful substitution for the beans. You should post it on BigOven! I like your approach to healthy cooking.
