I'm a health and fitness nut who has gotten into cooking because I've discovered how important what I eat is to my health and well being. I've discovered that cooking yourself and using fresh ingredients almost always beats anything you can get eating out at a restaurant taste wise.
I would like to come up with a variety of healthy dishes that I can cook not only for myself, but dishes that also wouldn't turn off friends or family that aren't as health conscious.
My favorite things to cook
Nothing particular. I just enjoy cooking a variety healthy dishes that are also tasty.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I grew up near New Orleans and am used to spicy foods. So most of my dishes have a kick to them. I've found everything tastes better with Tony Chachere's :)
My cooking triumphs
Meatless red beans and rice, salmon patties, BBQ pulled pork
My cooking tragedies
Healthy stir fried dishes :(
