I lead a very busy lifestyle. I'm a Flight Attendant for a major Airline(see A&E), do a TON of sandsports during the winter, and watersports during the summer. We LOVE comfort food, but really enjoy a light and healthy fare, so I love striking a balance between the two that allows the best of both worlds. I had NO idea what a broiler was for until I was 20. God love my mother, but she totally blew the myth that all French women could cook! I didn't learn how to cook when I was growing up, which is why I love this website. It is like having THOUSANDS of Aunts and Uncles in my kitchen ready with advice! Anytime my Family comes over and is impressed by what I am cooking! Like, when I invite my brother and his family over for Prime Rib like it's an every day occurance!!! :)) Serving my Family georgeous fried chicken on the outside, but completely RAW chicken on the inside! Okay! I was ONLY 21, but I'm STILL traumatized!
