The one thing everyone who has ever met me knows... I love cats! My husband and I have 2 of the most beautiful furry babies in the world and we love them more than anything! Even food, which is really saying something! ha! Also, I'm very into step aerobics, biking, reading, and I recently started rollerblading again after a 10 year or so haitus. We are both food fanatics.... we love to eat, eat, and eat! So it's now my job to try to allow us to do what we love so much without us packing on the pounds! We have been married for 6 years now but I never really took an interest in cooking until recently. My husband is half Italian and he would do most of the cooking, but now I have taken over and he just makes the occassional (and delicious) homemade pizza on the grill. I LOVE baking!! The only downside is, my husband is not a fan of cookies/pies/muffins/desserts in general, so all the sweets I make I have to eat myself! So it's both a good and a bad thing. Also, Polish (which I am), Italian (which my husband is), Asian and Mexican foods are all our favorites. During Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter my family makes all of our favorite polish dishes along with the staples like turkey and stuffing. We make huge batches of cabbage rolls, pierogies (both potato and blueberry ones), borscht... and my baba's unique apple pie, which is baked in a cookie pan instead of a pie tin with a chewy dough that is absolutely DELICIOUS! I'd eat it every day if I could. My triumph is a broad one: finally figuring out how to make delicious, flavorful food healthy, low fat AND edible all at the same time. Even desserts, which pleases me to no end. Chicken, applesauce and low fat cheeses are now my allies (though not necessarily in the same dish!), together we make some amazing meals! I haven't made anything in the last month that my husband hasn't told me to save the recipe and make again! A couple years ago I tried to start cooking and went a little overboard with my changes to recipes... I tried to adjust them to make them extremely low fat/calories and NOTHING turned out well. Everything I made for a month straight went straight into the garbage. Thankfully I am THROUGH with that phase!! Now I have found the near-perfect balance of fat vs. taste and things have been MUCH better ever since.
