My husband and I live in a small town in Kansas.  I work for a large roofing manufacturer as Customer Service Manager and he is retired.  In 2007 I started a weight loss journey and have lost 100 lbs with the help of Weight Watchers and the support of my family and friends.  I feel so much better and am always looking for new, healthy recipes that are flavorful and fun to cook and share. Nothing pleases me more than to try a new recipe and see the smiles on the faces of those I share it with.
