I'm a busy working single mom ... yes, those adjectives are a bit synonomous. In layman's terms I'm a project manager and work with emergency management. I have a creative streak, but all of the above has limited my creative time however, we all have to eat and my creative energy has turned to time spent in the kitchen. So now with all that taken into account, makes for challenges with keeping my weight where I'd like it to be...I know most of us are in that boat. Anyway, I try very hard to make the things I like (or recipes I find that are appealing) a bit more friendly to my waist-line while still appealing to the pallet. I've been quite sucessful and look forward to sharing.
