I have recently discovered the joys of cooking!! After getting married and starting a family I realized it was time to start making meals. My husband and I used to eat out 4 or more nights a week and then eat frozen meals the others. Now I cook 6 or 7 nights a week and I LOVE IT!!! My husband and I have both had WLS so I love to make low cal - high protein dinners!! I modify most of my recipes with lighter ingredients. YUMMO! I LOVE TO BAKE!! Doesn't work out for me so well now that I have had WLS - but check out my modified Banana Bread Muffins recips. Half the sugar and hardly any fat - YUMMMO! Thanksgiving. Nuff Said. We go all out! Just cooking is a triumph at this point. But I really love getting my cals as low as possible with every dish. I write down everything I put in every dish to figure out the nurtional values for it!! Waiting as long as I did to start! :)
