I'm a mom of three teen daughters. I recently lost 30 pounds on Atkins and am bored with the food, so I'm looking for new directions in cooking low carb, but my kids have to like the dishes, too. I have two adorable Sckipperkes (dogs!) who love to walk with me, plus I jog (not run!) 3 days a week. I'm a PE teacher at a high school, so it's important to me to be in shape, harder because I turned 50 this year! Desserts! I make the best apple pie, but I'll never tell the secret!! I'd rather cook for company than every-day dinners, but my kids love my cooking. Apple pie has become my tradition that will get passed down to my kids. Sweet potatoes with roasted marshmallows for Thanksgiving; ham for Christmas with pea soup to follow. Filets with Cognac Sauce, apple pie (have I mentioned this before?!). My attempt at tuna curry when I was first married. The dinner was a premonition of the marriage!!!
