I am a school psychology graduate student who likes to learn new things and live a healthy lifestyle with my husband of just over one year. I like to make pasta, and I also like to bake things like desserts and casseroles. My family favorites are pumpkin pie, beef & peppers, and fettucini. I usually do well with recipes in front of me. My husband loves when I make honey coconut salmon or shortbread. Anything that turns out so good that we can't wait to have it again is a triumph for me because I'm still learning. I tried making an Asian-style chicken salad a couple of years ago for my now-husband and myself, and I used entirely too much ginger. I couldn't eat more than a couple of bites, and I could tell he didn't like it either.
