A grandmother of 5 - we like to burn leaves in the back yard. I'm learning about composting and mulching. Trying to drop old habits and cook healthier for the two of us. It's difficult because Jim is a meat and potatoes man. If it's green, he won't eat it. Also, the budget is a concern. lasagne - oven fries - homemade soups spanish bean soup - butterscotch brownies - sh** on a shingle (chip beef on toast) Sometimes, I actually get the gravy right. Mac & cheese (best in town, just ask the grandkids; thanks Kraft) gravies and sauces - crock-pot meals have no flavor for me, especially pot roast.
