I am big into health and fitness! I was very competitive in track for twelve years and still work out a lot. Most people watch TV when they are bored, I go running or hiking or to the gym. :) Now that I have a little more time, I am trying new recipes and new foods.
My favorite things to cook
Healthy meals -- low fat and low carb! I like to cook a big batch on Sunday so that I have lunches for the week.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandma's salad dressing, her mock filet of beef with red sauce; my aunt's twice baked potatoes and her potato salad; my other aunt who has her own website and is always trying something new; my dad is fabulous at grilling and making salsa.
My cooking triumphs
Willing to try new recipes and my attempts to make recipes healthier.
My cooking tragedies
Nothing really, just a few dishes that were a bit bland.
