Massage therapist by trade, cooking's my passion! I'm constantly looking through magazines and this website for new material. Anything and everything that makes the house smell great. I love baking cookies and muffins for the yummy smells, and I'm usually cooking or baking something with chicken these days for dinner. I can't remember very many things my mom would cook when I was a kid. I don't believe her heart was in the kitchen, hence....no cooking traditions. Once, I made an entire Thanksgiving dinner that was low fat--need to start doing a little more of that :-) Sad as this is, it's true.....Once, I, well I, I overcooked scallops. I know, I know, how could I? I try not to dwell on it, but after many years of counseling, I believe I've learned from this error ;-)
