I spend large portions of my time cooking and preparing food, not because I particularly love it, ha ha, but to be healthy. Always interested in talking about healthy recipes, and specifically those that relate to fitness training (high protein!).I also devote a lot of time to my garden as I grow my own vegetables for the year round, and store them in jars rather than using a fridge or freezer for my long term storage. I'm quite the self sufficiency addict and have been working gradually for many years at making my home and life style as self sufficient as I can manage.
