I'm very in tune with all of my senses. I'm an audio producer by trade, and I love it. I spend my free time split between having a camera in my hand, cooking or baking and trying new recipes, and getting outside to walk or bike whenever I get the chance. I've been baking homemade bread since early 2007 and am eager to find new, healthy recipes to mix things up. I love cooking my turkey chili during colder months, although now that I live in Arizona we will have chili in warm months since we aren't given the option. I've been happy to find lots of options in fresh fruit so we've had some delicious smoothies, too. My dad was a professional chef, and although he was only allowed to mess up the kitchen and go all-out for the holidays, those meals were amazing. My mom's simple everyday meals were a good base for me to use to spruce up for more interesting dinners. I've had disaster-breads, disaster-dinners, whatever. My husband says that you're not really cooking unless there's a chance you might fail.
