I've worked in the health care industry for just over 14 years so when I cook, I try to cook healthy. I'm married with and 18 year old stepson and work full time so life gets crazy busy! For fun I belong to a medieval recreation society, am learning archery and how to sew. I don't get much relaxation time though so every moment spent with my family is fantastic.
