Welcome

Yes, I am a foodie. I have had an affair with food my entire life, and I have the waistline to prove it. I have been on every diet you can imagine and have lost and gained the same hundred pounds. Because of this, I learned two very important things: portion control, and more important, if it has no flavor, you will never be satisfied. So, I decided to do something about it. I read through all my family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. There has to be a way to make these great dishes with reduced fat, so they will become better suited for weight loss and weight maintenance. I’m working on it.

Another thing I learned is to enjoy the cooking process and to sit down and savor the fruits of your labor. Invite friends over to share these great recipes. Have more family dinners. When I look at these recipes, they always remind me of the special occasion or holiday when they were traditionally served. I have some really wonderful memories—large waist but great memories. So please come back every week and read my blog, try my recipes, and share them with friends and family. You never know when you’re making a memory.
