I'm a slightly "over-50" guy living with my wife and 2 kids in Columbus Ohio. I have been a picky eater for as long as I can remember. I'm trying to improve my cooking skills more or less in self defense. It's a control thing ... if I make it and I don't like it, I can whine and complain to myself :-)! Since cooking is not my wife's favorite activity, I'm looking for recipes I can enjoy preparing and eating while lightening her load a bit. Hopefully a win-win situation.
