One of my recent goals is to learn more about cooking, and find some heathy alternatives. After living in Italy I learned how cooking can uncover an entire culture. I never was one for cooking but after you learn a few tricks here and there cooking can become fun! Don't get me wrong I have always been excited about food, just not cooking it. I know that Leslie is the cook in our family but I just might give her a run for her money. Maybe we will have a cook off someday. ha. I have posted a few of my recent favorites, and its not just me that likes them. Kyle likes them too, we have the love handles to prove it!
