about me

I am a mom with 3 teenagers and pictured here on the right with my 2 oldest. (My youngest was sick at home so couldn't make this wedding we were at) I work in an office as an administrator for an engineering firm. My boyfriend and I bought a beautiful house in a small town in Ontario called Bolton. Just north-west of Toronto. We love to try new tastes and I enjoy experimenting with different recipes. The problem is I find it difficult following a recipe exactly as written. I'm always adjusting the ingredients to our likes. I just have to remember to write down the changes I make because if it's a keeper, I never remember what I did. I wish I had more time to post all the recipes I make and love but with working full time and having to drive kids to work and back, my time is limited. I am very health conscience. I spent 18 years at home raising my kids and made everything from scratch for my family. Even the baby food. Being fit is important to me so I get up at 5:00 a.m. to go on my treadmill 3 or 4 times a week. I also like to play the piano. I took lessons up to grade 8 when I was young. I wish I had more time to practice because if you don't play it, you lose it.
My passions are my kids - 20, 17, 15 years old, and of course my DH, Bob who is the love of my life.

Favorite Foods:

My favorite foods are pizza, vegetables, appetizers, casseroles, soups & stews, (not necessarily in that order). I also love creamy sauces and gravies. I like to try different ethnic foods at restaurants. My DH introduced me to sushi. Now we frequent a close Japanese restaurant in town to satisfy our cravings.
Everyone's favorite dish that I like to bring to gatherings is my Crab and Artichoke Dip - Crab & Artichoke Dip. Guaranteed, someone always asks for the recipe.
