RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I must confess that I do more reading of recipes and planning to make them than I do actual cooking. One reason for this is that I commute into NYC for work and this is a fairly long commute for me. The other reason is that I am a fan of comfort foods and desserts. My husband and I are almost empty nesters (our youngest is away at school, but nearby), and we tend to eat many of our meals in restaurants. However, I am on a campaign to improve my eating habits, and I am interested in finding some healthier recipes that still appeal to me.
