boy named Sous

About Me

Homeschooling mother of 7. Married 25 years this past September. Our oldest boy was sous chef at a local restaurant, hence the name I picked for myself.
He graduated from Culinary college and became Sushi chef at the hottest sushi joint in town. It wasn't as challenging culinary-wise as the restaurant and he missed that, but sushi eaters are BIG tippers. In July of 2010 he left for Ethiopia to volunteer at a children's school where he is teaching beginning computer skills.

I miss him and his cooking but I look forward to hearing about his food experiences in Ethiopia, I've already heard some, here is his blog if you are interested: http://lifeinadivinecomedy.blogspot.com/

Four years ago I decided to take control of my health and life.
And that included quitting a 30 year smoking habit on Feb. 12, 2006 and losing 30 lbs.
I succeeded in doing both!
I have also been getting adventuresome in my cooking and eating. I love eating more than I love cooking, but mostly because 90% of the kids AND my husband likes junk food and I don't!
I joined zaar's to start making yummy healthy foods for myself, and hopefully in the process, convince the rest of the family that good food is Good Food!

My whole lifestyle and way of eating/cooking has so totally changed that I really need help figuring out how to cook so my family is satisfied, and yet healthy.
