Army wife, dog lover, and geek. I like Star Trek: TNG and playing literati with my husband. I like working out, running, and lifting weights. I love Netflix. Best idea, ever. I also love OSU football. GO BUCKS! COOKIES! Alex Jamieson's Coconut Curry Rice from her book The Great American Detox Diet, polenta, pasta, and anything interesting or with goat cheese! I love to bake, but I'm not very good at it. I'm trying! I love my mom's recipes, but I like to make them healthier. She's a big fan of bacon grease and pork, but I usually opt for healthier options like olive oil and vegetarian dishes. When I finally stopped making things from cans. My husband still cringes when I talk about the time I made "chicken casserole." Weew, that was a doozey! He also spit out some artichoke dip I made once. It tasted like fingernails.
