about me

My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.)

5 Stars "OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma."

4 Stars "The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again."

3 Stars "This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do."

I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command "get outta my kitchen!" LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine.

We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook. Check out the website: http://www.onepanwonders.com

Favorite Foods:

I'll try anything once. The only thing I really don't like is eggplant. Everything else is fair game. I was a vegetarian for about 7 years, until I met my dear other half. He's a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy, but I'm trying to sneak more veggies into his diet. He'll pretty much eat whatever I cook because he doesn't cook and he says "well, I have to eat!" LOL.

And now I've found the games!! I'm just having WAY too much fun with all this...
