47 yrs old, been cooking since a young girl. Love to experiment and refine recipes. 4 cats. Last few yrs have been doing container gardening on my terrace. Work at home f/t since 2003. Variations on my favorite bread recipe, always pasta sauce, soups, 1-meal dishes. Not a big dessert person. Making sauces and storing in fridge for quick meals/snacks (cheese white sauce, peanut sauce, cranberry). Cooking stuff that can be frozen in 1-serving pkgs for easy meals. A one-meal meatloaf, dough balls stuffed with various meat combos, a seafood soup with lime, and finally getting my spicy peanut sauce perfected. Sugarless chocolate cake made for a friend with NutraSweet or Equal - that would be cake & frosting. In my defense I'm highly allergic to all sugar substitutes and didn't know about Splenda until after the fact.
