I'm a retired nurse who has taught nursing , worked as a staff nurse, and most recently worked as a diabetes nurse specialist (certified in advanced diabetes management). I moved in order to spend more time with my grandchildren, who are my current source of joy. Breads, desserts, main dishes, healthy food that tastes good. Lots of my Mom's and favorite aunts' recipes. They are family favorites that are loved by all who eat them. I also collect recipes from my children and their spouses' families to enrich the family repertoire. Reducing fat and calories in old favorites that still taste great. I also like to make my own changes to recipes to make them more appealing to those I love. Lately I tend to loose track of time and burn or overcook food. I've had many failures over the years and still enjoy the challenge and rewards of creating good food for enjoyment by myself and others.
