<p>Hello to All! <br />Thank you for taking the time to visit my site. I hope that you will try some of my recipes. Be assurred that I make and eat the ones I have posted. I am very interested in seeing your ratings and reading your feedback. <br />Experimenting with new recipes is one of my favorite pasttimes. I follow an almost vegetarian diet. I eat fish but really not much meat anymore. <br />I am in my mid-50s and lead a very active lifestyle: horseback riding, running, and strength training. I feel terrific and I give lots of credit to healthy eating. <br />This community is an inspiration to me! It is the first place I will go for online recipes because the feedback is so helpful. I search it for new recipes almost every day. <br />My recipes will be mostly the lower fat, moderate sugar, and vegetarian style of cooking. I'd say there a bit unusual in some aspects :) <br />I hope you like my postings. Your honest feedback and suggestions will be appreciated. <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
