I'm a human nutrition student, and I love to cook healthy baked goods and grains. I'm always up for trying new and unusual fruits, vegetables and seasonings. Mediterraean foods are my great passion. Keep it natural, keep it local! Fresh, seasonal, local produce, beans and grains. Certain people like to tease me about my kale and chickpeas, but a taste usually wins them over. :-) And I still like a good pizza or bacon cheeseburger every now and then... Home gardening, fresh vegetables, fruits from trees, vines and bushes, preserving the harvest. I made blueberry jam with blueberries I picked myself. First time I've ever canned anything and it was fantastic! I can't cook a good roast beef to save my life.
