I am an operations supervisor for Carlson Wagonlit Travel. I love to cook, especially for my family and my team at work. I have about 25 employees and try to do regular incentives where I cook for them when they have improved their performance. One incentive was to make an entire meal for them to take home to their family for having the most improved performance. This month it's 100 cookies of their choice... I just love to cook for people!
My favorite things to cook
Since I have had gastric bypass surgery I have perfected the art of cooking sugarfree desserts. With the holidays, I wanted to make things that people could enjoy without as much guilt.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I would say is cooking for Christmas, making hundreds of cookies to give out to family and friends every December.
My cooking triumphs
Mastering the art of working with Splenda and making things taste so comparable to the sugar varieties that people ask me to make everything sugarfree.
My cooking tragedies
This season... forgetting to add the splenda to a batch of peanut butter cookies... what a waste! It rarely happens, but I hate to waste good ingredients.
