Welcome!

The old housewives axiom "The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach" still applies today. We need only to make informed choices concerning the food we choose to eat.

I prefer cooking with natural foods. I buy fresh vegetables; avoid preservatives, excess sugars and corn syrup/starch. I experiment with diverse ingredients like Muscovado instead of brown sugar in my homemade cookies. I do not consider canned soup to be a sauce, nor “modified food” to be a food group.

I believe that food should be filling, healthy, comfort the soul, and delight the senses.
