About the cook: Retired health care worker (PT Assistant) and Personal Trainer (20 years). An active female living in Colorado with retired spouse who cares about living a full active and healthy lifestyle! I have found it's even more important to make the time to cook using fresh ingredients limiting processed foods as much as possible. Living in moderation is the key! Enjoy good food- Enjoy your life!
