About me:
I really started cooking when I was assigned the title "Chief Steward" aboard a 50 passenger ship called the "Pacific Link". I was 18 years old, vegetarian, living in Fiji and serving with an international missions' organization called YWAM. Talk about being thrown into cold water! I had never 'cooked' for 50 people in my life -let alone, three times a day (plus preparing morning and afternoon 'tea' and cooking for special fundraising events). But what an experience! Now, I am married (cooking only for myself and my hubby - although we share the work!), no longer vegetarian, and living in beautiful British Columbia. I am a third year nursing student looking forward to graduating next year. Like the profession I am going into, I am 'big' into health promotion. I like to mirror this in the way I live. So I eat healthy, eat everything else in moderation, laugh lots, and exercise. The key is balance. I'm all about balance.

Acorn Squash with Apple

Reviewed on Dec. 21, 2009 by MellowDee 
I served this to a group of picky eaters at Thanksgiving, and they all loved it. In fact, some of them thought it was almost dessert-like. What a great side dish. I will make making this again at Christmas for sure!

Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing

Reviewed on Dec. 21, 2009 by MellowDee 
I omitted the liver and made this with a vegetarian sausage and vegetable broth. (I increased the broth, because I read reviews of it being dry.) It went over very well with all my meat eating inlaws. I made this a second time without the sausage and it too went over very, very well. Of course I'm sure my version is nothing compared to the real thing with actual turkey sausage.
