I am a mom of 2 great boys. I am a culinary school graduate and BC (before children) in the foodservice industry for years! Cooking and baking is now a hobby (but still a passion) for me. I try to eat healthy and adjust recipes to reflect that as much as possible. I have run 2 (and one half) Marathons and will do a third this fall. Eating healthy goes along with staying fit:) I enjoy cooking (and eating) so running helps me be able to enjoy that and keeps the cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure away. I enjoy just about anything italian, I like making soups, sauces, experimenting with different rubs and marinades on my meat. LOVE to bbq in the summer. I also Love my sweets and baking. Cant pick a favorite, I like making it all. I get raves on my tenderlion, Beef wellington, and Chili.
