about me

I Live in central Virginia, 5 miles from where I grew up, w/ my Husband of 10 years and my beautiful daughter. She is four and is the joy of my life. We waited for a long time to be blessed with a child and it is the best thing I've ever done. Be a mother.

The above picture is of me and DD (4) on vacation in Natural Bridge VA in 10/08.
Anyway, I love to cook. We eat very healthy and I have been on a "journey" to lose weight for the last 7 years. I was at my heaviest ever, 7 years ago and I started eating better and exercising and lost 40 lbs. I gained 20 back when I was pregnant. About 2 years ago I had a "life altering" experience. I had back surgery for a sliped disk at 31. So after that, I decided to lose more weight and lost 30 lbs and have maintained it for a year. With 2008 now here, I've got 9 lbs to go to my target weight. My best advice to anyone trying to lose weight is to remember that it didn't get there overnight and it won't come off overnight. I've never said I was on a diet. It is a lifestyle.

Favorite Foods:

Well my WEAKNESS is Mexican food. I just can't behave myself there.

I love fresh vegetables, fruit and seafood.

My favorite resturant is MEXICO. A close second is Red Lobster or any good seafood resturant.

I'm famous for my cheese ball, coconut pie and lasagna.

My Rating System:

5*-DH and I liked this and I would fix again with little adjustment
4*-DH and I liked this with a few adjustments and would fix again
3*-At least one of us liked this and it could be modified for both of us to enjoy it easily.
Very rarely give 2 or less stars unless something is terribly wrong with the recipe and we could not finish it.

I rarely fix the same thing twice, so if we enjoy it enough to want to have it again that automatically warrents a 3*, if we'd like it again soon a 4* or 1 time per week a 5*. And I have the adventerous taste buds in the house, so if I really enjoy it, I rate based, on my opinion only.

And as a bonus if DD eats it without arguement it automatically gets 5*.
