Being a married mother of two, a majority of my time is spent in my kitchen, whipping up meals for my family. My interests include cooking, art, organic gardening, reading, and studying spirituality. Since I've never been a fan of meat, I am a vegan and have been one for many years. Lately, on rare occasions, I do find myself craving fresh fish and seafood. Since Cheese doesn't agree with me, I eat soy products in place of dairy. Working out and spending as much time outdoors as I can, during the summer months, is something I do often. Trying to get outside, so I can work in my vegetable garden at least four times a week, Is very important to me. It's so beneficial for me, both spiritually and physically, to keep myself connected to nature. The best way for me to achieve this, is by being outdoors, and working in the soil. Painting is one of my favorite hobbies. Hopefully, I will get more time to paint as my children get older, and I can squeeze in more time for myself. By becoming an active member of Helium, I'm able to share many of my late mother's delicious, home cooked, Italian recipes, my healthy vegetarian recipes and some of my close friend's recipes with others.
