I worked for an internationally known food company for 7 years in food safety and product development. I have a BS in Nutrition. I currently am a stay at home mom and cook for the household. I am sad to say that I don't have the ability to "whip up something fast" and entertain and wow a crowd. Right now I am just working on a recipe box of quick and easy meals that my young children will eat and my husband will enjoy. I love to cook anything easy that the family will eat and enjoy. I am always supplementing meals with fresh fruits and vegetables, just what everyone needs this day and age. I grew up loving hot meals, including pot roast in the crock pot, meat loaf, and steaks which my dad unfortunately would cook well-done. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized that the best steaks are medium-rare. I was happy to entertain my boss (from the food company) in my home with an awesome steak and baked potato meal. While working at the food company, we had a vegan sister company that shared some of their products, including tofu pups. I took some home and was determined to cook with them. I couldn't eat them plain, they didn't taste right. So I made a casserole with macaroni, cheese, corn, and chopped tofu pups. It was the worst thing ever! To this day my husband teases me about the "Tofu Pup Casserole".
