I own a 7 year old Thoroughbred gelding called Sid. He is still a bit green but we are hoping to do some schooling shows this spring in dressage/jumping classes and progress to BN eventing as well. I am so excited! i love my horse:)
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake things and surprise everyone by how healthy you can make them! It's hard to picture whole wheat brownies, but they taste great! Or muffins with wheat germ or flax seed, ww flour, and honey! How about a crisp with the berries sweetened with stevia! I also like to make meals that are healthy but super yummy. Soups (Tortilla, Black Bean, and Lentil are favorites), Salads, and special sandwiches or wraps are my favorite! Simple but healthy stuff.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I hope to become notorious someday for cheesecakes and fresh pumpkin pie! (pumpkin cheesecake is awesome too)!
My cooking triumphs
Granola! I finally made a batch that was crunchy, tasty, and fresher than storebought. Everyday Food magazines are the BEST magazine subscriptions (after horse stuff :) you could ever get.They are chok full of great recipes, ideas, and lots of information about cooking your favorite fruits, vegetables and other foods.
My cooking tragedies
My first pie: I forgot to poke holes and it sunk! Although it still tasted okay.
