I have recently lost 155 lbs with twenty five more to go. I have never been a cook/baker before my weight loss. Although, I was a pro at lasagna, fried chicken, and baked honey-glazed salmon because those are the dishes I love. I have also considered myself a *foodie (not quite sure what that means), in the sense of tasting different cuisines and experimenting, but I have never wanted to take it beyond that point. Half a person later, I have become fascinated with baking cookies, muffins, cupcakes and cooking savory foods such as bison and seafood burgers, vegetarian casserole, and much more. The thing is, I have not tasted any of what I have made. I have "used" my friends, roommates, family, and coworkers to taste my creations. On this site, I will offer some opinions and pictures of that.
Occasionally, I will probably stray onto the topic of weight loss, since I do believe--in some weird way--this has lead me to this passion. And there is the possibility that I will even talk about some personal issues.
So far, my most successful creations are lemon ricotta cookies, chocolate chip chipotle cookies, oatmeal butterscotch craisin cookies, and vegetarian corn muffin casserole.
