I'm an older college student and a single mother. Sometimes I am so rushed that I dont have time to cook or my child is picky so I like to have things that are easy to fix on the days I can't cook as much as I would like. I like cooking for other people (time permitting).
I'm being more aware of what I am putting into my body as far as fat content etc. Sometimes, I change my diet so I am eating mostly vegetables.
