I love to cook every day for my husband and myself. Much of my time is spent browsing through recipes from allrecipes.com and other wonderful websites with great recipes. I enjoy cooking for large family gatherings, potluck luncheons and suppers and get-togethers with friends. I love stir-frys, experimenting with different foods and sauces. I like combining 3 or 4 recipes that sound good and creating my own. I also love to make homemade soup from garden fresh vegetables. Not sure, both my parents liked to cook but I'm more like my dad, who was a chef by trade and loves to create a great pot of soup. Learning to cook healthy meals that taste good and are low-fat. Making pastry! I now use....shhhh...Pillsbury roll-out pastry.
