I am Sicilian American (Italian for those who do not know what Sicilian is) I love Food...Food, Food, Food. Maybe that is why i am a member of a website strictly for Recipe's!lol. I am also trying to watch what i eat so i am always on the hunt for new low fat/ low cal meals. I am a devoted and loving house wife and mother. My favorite Cookbooks are one with pics...easy is good! I hate very bready or blan recipes! Can not stand them...ie, dry bread like cookies, or very blan dinners. I love to taste things, so blan is not in my vocabulary.
