Gender Female
Location Connecticut, United States
Introduction Having been brought up on a steady diet of KoolAid and Captain Crunch Cereal I decided to raise my children with a more positive attitude toward and better understanding of good nutrition as well as the importance of living a balanced and healthy lifestyle. I am committed to the idea that it is possible to make great-tasting healthy and nutritious food that even you're kids will eat and that this can be achieved without having to pay high health food stores prices -- in fact, you'll just have to drive as far as your local grocery store or mass merchandiser. With today’s store shelves bursting with all sorts of products specifically designed to appeal to our wide-eyed and eager children, it is my personal mission to weed out the “wolves in sheep’s clothing” and find the truly virtuous food products and recipes for kids that can deliver not only on kid-friendly appeal, but will not compromise their good health.
Interests Good food, great desserts, life-long friends, heart-pounding exercise and snuggling with my kids and then watching the Colbert Report with my husband after the kids are safe in bed.
Favorite Movies I must confess I'm a real sucker for a really sappy chick flick.
Favorite Music Much to my husband's embarrassment I'm a product of the 80's so I have a soft spot for New Wave.
Favorite Books Any book with a recipe inside!
