Hello, my friend @joanstewart. Nice to hear from you, hope you are well.
I tend to cook more often in the cold months, gives me something to do while being pinned inside. It's been such a brutally cold winter here. Bob will eat anything I make, and he's even been helping "chop" for me and clean up! I try to keep in mind the health benefits of food as well as the calories, we don't get as much exercise as we do in the warm months.
Have a lovely day.
