I live in Crown Point, Indiana with my son and his fiance. I use to live in Lansing in this really great apartment and I worked full time in Chicago IL. as a receptionist. I lost that job on April 27th, 2009, for the past 2 years I have worked at minimum wage jobs and have not been the happiest person on earth but at least I have always been able to get a job, whether it was working in a hotel making beds and cleaning toilets or working retail which is what I am presently doing but only part time. I've been divorced for over 5 years I have 2 grown kids, and 6 grand kids.
My oldest daughter and her 6 kids live in Indianapolis and my son lives in Crown Point with his fiance.
Lately I've been doing a lot of reading, sewing and trying to cook for just myself and getting pretty good at reading and sewing. LOL!! The cooking however I would rate myself at about a B . I basically have full run of my sons kitchen as long as I clean up after which is a given for me. I do dishes, dust and vaccuum as much as I can without interrupting their life style. I stay in my room alot and watch movies, if I want to watch regular tv I have to come down stairs.
I've been experimenting with every recipe from Zaar that was low in calories that I could find. If the ingredients are something I had on hand and if it didn't costs a lot to make it then I would try to make it for myself. Someday I will have my own place again, I put my name in for some low-income Senior housing in Merrillville, but there is such a long wait, I'll just have to be patient.
I love this website and everyone on here, it is so helpful, there are so many wonderful recipes on here, you can't go wrong. I have put together 2 recipe books, one was for my family with alot of my grandmothers and aunts recipes made from scratch.I am still trying to find that job that suits me, I decided to semi retire in July and am now working only parttime at JC Penneys until such time I can find a rich husband or win the lottery.LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite foods to make are probably my version of my Grandmothers Bread Pudding with her Hot Buttered Rum Sauce. Her unsweetened cornbread cooked in a cast iron skillet. Grandma's Cinnamon Pie and my other Grandma's Swedish pancakes with the Lingenberry preserves and powdered sugar on top. I really love my Aunt Maralees stuffed cabbage, and my mom's hamburger goulash. These foods always bring back a lot of great memories. I love Apple Bees in Indiana, frequent there a lot with my friends, they now have a weight watchers menu which I order from at every visit and Bakers Square in Lansing. Just figured out how to use my Regal bread machine, so I'm now making a lot of homemade breads instead of spending my hard earned money at the store on breads.
