I am an artist. I also cook well and at times get creative in the kitchen. Sometimes I tell my spouce we're having mystery meat for dinner until he takes a bite. I like creating dips with fresh herbs too. Some slow day I will post a few. I use to make homemade cheese ravioli and pasta for holiday cooking along with my hightop apple pie. My grandmother passed down a cookie recipe I call the 2000yr old cookie. It is very different and addictive to eat. Old old recipe I had to revise alittle. We use to bite into rock cookies before I fixed the ingredients. Grandma meant well. lol
We are looking for recipes that are low cal, nutritious and healthy. I planted a medium sized garden with lots of herbs in pots this year. So far so good and we're enjoying the fruits of our labor. I hope to do some canning this summer too. Grandma taught me about 32 yrs ago the hot bath method. Will be hunting for tips on canning also. Otherwise, I create art to sell.
If you like seashore art go visit my webpage at www.yessy.com/paulineross You'll find shore birds, beaches, boats etc and handpainted wine glasses with a variety of designs.
