I'm a recent university graduate, and I just moved all the way across the country ... and BACK again! I loved living in BC, and now miss the mountains ... but I love being by the water again. I used to survive mainly on cereal for all my meals, but in the last few months I've rediscovered "real" food! (and subsequently gained a couple pounds. Heh). I'm always on the lookout for *healthy* recipes. I have recently rekindled a love affair with smoothies. They're sooo good!
My pet peeves ... are too many to list! I've got somewhat of a short temper ... lol. Definitely working on curbing it, but it's so hard!
