I am passionate about healthy cooking for my family. I do not use processed foods at all in my cooking. I only like to use fresh, wholesome ingredients as close to their original condition as possible. I do a lot of healthy substituting in recipes that I find on this site. I have a wonderful husband and a boy with food allergies. I have a little girl on the way. My husband and I were having a friends and family over for a thanksgiving meal. We were planning on having a fried turkey, but the thermometer in the oil broke and the oil caught on fire. Flames shot out of the top of the frier about 6 feet. My husband had to go get a new frier while I put in some baked chickens to have a back up. No one was hurt. It was a disaster, but we all ate and had fun anyway.
