I am a mom of five, 2 daughters and triplet little baby boys, as well as a wife and professional that is always trying to do things both in the kitchen and out with my family. I like to create good homecooking that is light on fat and calories but is loaded with good flavor. I love to try my own sauces, salsa and dressings. My favorite things are made with fresh foods and great seasonings. Family BBQ cooking in Alaska. A lot of fish and putting up of our own vegetables every fall. Lightening up pizza and lasagne! Finally figuring out that Salmon isn't supposed to be that dry! Also, I've found my own way to make biscuits and pie crusts that aren't like glue! Mastering my husbands favorite ginger cake was by far my best triumph ever! bread...it falls, it's heavy... I have yet to find yummy desserts that don't grow my waistline.
