Yay! I finally started this blog! I have been talking about starting a blog for awhile now and I got through setting up a page. That's it. Then I remembered, "no guts no glory". There are so many wonderful cooking/baking sites out there and I hope I can bring some "yummy-ness" to your days.
I love to bake and am learning I love to cook as well. Baking is in my blood - my parents used to make cakes professionally. But cooking was another story. I didn't start learning how until I started my weight loss journey. I gained weight due to an illness and years later when I decided it was time to lose it, I wanted to be a healthy eater but still enjoy what I was eating. Lean Cuisine can only be dinner for so many nights in a row and then you have to take matters into your own hands!
I hope you will enjoy this site. You should know the recipes I will showcase will come from a variety of sources. I am still learning to "invent" recipes and hope this will be part of the road ahead. I also promised my friends that I would post recipes that were fairly easy - at least some of the time. I am surrounded by college students and I hope to provide them with recipes that even their limited space and budget can handle! I am NOT a professional photographer - that's my brother. And most importantly, I am not a health professional. I will be blogging about what worked for me. All in all, I lost 86 pounds and have kept it off for about 5 years. So while I have done it, again, I am NOT an expert!
Thanks for stopping in and hopefully I will provide you with yummy treats, entertainment and a bit of "how I did it".
