I auditionated in a cooking show.I like to cook. I would like to grow my own vegetables. I rent my home. I have many plants on my patio. I create my own recipes. I created one with feta cheese. My vegetable garden is in my backyard. I really like gardening. I used to eat honeysuckle when I visited my Dad.
I have fibromyalgia. I live PA. I grew up on a farm. I like beadwork and write my own patterns. I make jewelry. I love to read. I don't like feta cheese unless it's on a greek salad. I have always wanted to grow my own vegetables. Having a green thumb runs on my mother's side of the family. I have done container gardening but I have never planted vegetables in the ground. My mother used to grow tomatoes and cucumbers. My grandmother on my Dad's side used to grow raspberries. We used to have a farm. We grew green beans and wheat on the farm. I miss the farm but I do not miss the long hours. I was in Desert Storm.
Tell me more about your time in Desert Storm Wow, that feels like a lifetime ago. It was the most intense time in my life, and to be honest it is hard to talk about and reminisce on it. I can certainly understand that. My husband is currently active duty and doesn't like discussing it.  What do you do for fun? Oh I thank him for his service. That must be tough for you. Because of my fibromyalgia, I live a pretty relaxed and boring life now, haha. How about you? Did you ever heard back from the cooking show you auditioned for? No I never did hear back, but that's OK. This year my goal is to plant more veggies and make up more recipes for them. That sounds great! Do you cook a lot with vegetables? I have been looking into following a more plant based diet these days. I do a lot with vegetables. I actually try to follow a low carb diet and it tends to be heavy on plants. What are your favorite vegetables to cook with? Do you have any easy recipes for a novice like me? I love just plain ol' roasting vegetables with some olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. But spaghetti squash with homemade alfredo and shrimp is amazing. OK that spaghetti squash sounds amazing! I love shrimp, or any seafood for that matter. I have been cooking a lot of fish on my grill lately to reduce my red meat intake. I make a homemade alfredo sauce that's amazing. I'll never buy it again. It's a carton of heavy whipping cream, block of cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of butter and half a block of parmesan cheese.  Cooked until is smooth (whisk, whisk, whisk). Sometimes a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Seriously, it's SO good Yum! Sounds very rich! But of course that is what makes it delicious. But the fact that you eat it with spaghetti squash instead of regular pasta means you can go all out on the sauce...balance!
