I have been married to wonderful Christian man for 10 years. Cooking for him has been a challenge(he eats very few vegetables and no mayo). I enjoy entering my baked goodies in county fairs. I love cooking in general, but chicken and dumplings is one of my favorites. Another is my no sugar added caramel apple pie. Every Thanksgiving my husbands family always asks me to bake the turkey and make dressing. Of course, you have got to have gravy and dumplings to go with that. Since having gastric by-pass surgery 2 years ago, I can't tolerate sugar. It is a challenge to convert regular recipes to sugar free or no sugar added. Two years ago at the fair I won Best in Show for my No Sugar Added Caramel Apple Pie. I entered a sweet potato pound cake in a local county fair about 5 years ago and didn't break my eggs in a separate bowl. When I came home from entering the cake I cut a slice and the first bite I heard a crunch--it was egg shell. Needless to say I received no ribbon that year. Since then I have received numerous blue ribbons and 1 Best in Show.
