Hello! I am a health oriented home cook who loves to share recipes with friends. Originally from Canada I grew up out in rural B.C. and both my parents were very good cooks. I have a new appreciation for how much food they made from scratch. I don't always have the time to do that but am perfectly happy to use quality ready made ingredients as long as the outcome is still delicious! Enjoy! Warmly, Shannon
