<p>I'm the person that all my family and friends call if they need a recipe. I'm a great cook, but don't get that much cooking in because of the way my husband and I have chosen to eat/live. We eat mainly raw and lightly steamed vegetables,fruit in season, grilled fish, grilled chicken breasts, ground white meat turkey and occasionally 3 oz. of lean beef or pork. We cut out almost all dairy and white sugar and flour. <br /><br />Not only have I lost 101 pounds but my husbands cholesteral has lowered 75 points. We plan on living forever. Good Luck-Huh? <br />But, since I am a foody, I get my cooking/recipe fix by reading recipes on this site. I love it.</p>
