"This is my variation on a recipe I found on the Low Carb Luxury website. These muffins are a great way to enjoy "pizza" when you're on a reduced carb diet, and they are really nutritious to boot. I changed the ingredients to make the recipe a faster one by using garlic powder and canned tomatoes for easier prep."

I am a wildlife biologist, writer, and artist living in Northern Colorado. Cooking is one of my favorite activities, second only to watching Alton Brown on food network, or Anthony Bourdain on the travel channel. I also get a kick out of prowling antique malls looking for vintage cookware. I just want to share that I am a breast cancer survivor and was diagnosed youngish and early. Look forward to hearing from anyone with recipes that use cancer-fighting ingredients. Also, although I earn most of my living as a biologist, I am an artist and sell inexpensive but high-quality reproductions of my original animal/wildlife paintings online. While I can't quit my day job yet, support from sales allow me to donate artwork to conservation causes, as silent auction items, calendars, and greeting cards. My web site is listed below. <embed src=http://www.ecrater.com/widget.swf quality=high bgcolor=#ffffff width=266 height=268 name=widget align=middle allowScriptAccess=sameDomain allowFullScreen=false type=application/x-shockwave-flash pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer flashVars=&path_xml=widget.php&size=s&shape=sq&sid=54996&flash=1/> I like recipes that are simple enough that I can memorize them. This doesn't mean that I don't tackle complicated ones, just that I think it's good to have an arsenal of easy ones for any occasion. It is helpful as well to understand the science behind cooking, so you can develop your own versions of favorite dishes. It also helps if your top recipes are adaptable, in case you're missing an ingredient. <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/curriedcurrajongs.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg>
