<p>I enjoy to cook & my DH enjoys to eat. Neither one of us have serious weight or physical issues but I strive to make my meals healthy. I try to stay away from 'low-fat' & processed foods cause they are usually filled with other undesirable ingredients. I try to stick to natural foods & I grow a garden including several herbs. <br />I make a point of reviewing all recipes I've tried & appreciate the time others take to forward feedback on my recipes.</p>
