<p>Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook is my favorite reference material. I will start with one of their recipes and tweek it for lower fat, lower sugar, or different flavor. Passion is for food that tastes good and good for you. Challenge to make things that taste fattening but really aren't too bad.</p>
