I am a photographer, portrait and fine art. I enjoy fitness and yoga, reading, and playing games on pogo.com! I am active in my church and other volunteer groups. I do a lot of cooking for church families in need of help. I also have a large husband...he is a powerbuilder and has a lot of muscle to feed! I love to cook healthy. I like filling comfort foods, natural whole foods, and lots of flavor! Soups, stews, anything with lots of veggies and a bit o' meat. I love my crock pot. I'm pretty proud of my ability to "healthify" most recipes and still have them taste wonderful and satisfying. Let's just say my father-in-law was visiting and there was a pancake incident! Fortunately, I won him back with his favorite apple crisp, and some wild rice soup!
