RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am the mother of three beautiful children (infant son, toddler daughter and teen-age stepson),and the wife to a wonderful husband. I am the speech-language pathologist for the local school district.
Although I live in PA, I am a HUGE Buffalo Bills fan. I love to make appetizers for the games...particularly ones that go well with a couple of brewskies that I usually start drinking around half-time (that's when the game usually starts going downhill!).
I have always loved to cook, but recently have taken a bigger interest in it. Since being home on maternity leave, I have been watching the food network a lot.
I don't bake too often. I make a lot of green salads, soups and main meals in addition to my appies. I was making most of my meals very low fat and low calorie until I was married and had kids. That changed things for me (I needed to make meals people would eat!). I still make healthy meals, but they are far from fat-free. I almost always use veggies, and healthier meats such as fish and poultry. I don't eat red meat or pork....DH prepares those meals for himself and DD if she wants it.
