Expertise

First of all, I LOVE to cook. I raised four kids and worked so quick and easy was very important. I can answer most any food/recipe question. Home style cooking is my favorite forum, but I also am knowledgable in sauces and some saute. Questions about food storage, food safety, quick and easy meals, cook ahead meals for freezing and hostess ideas are welcome here.

Experience in the area

I have over 30 years in the food and hospitality industry. I am a certified serve-safe manager. I have entered a few recipe contests and won grand prize in one. I write recipes for fun and am working on a collection of favorites.

Education/Credentials

Serv-Safe Managers Series Certification

What do you like about this subject?

I was raised by wonderful cooks (my parents are from the South). I really started applying myself to learning more about Southern Homestyle when I was an 18 year old newlywed and served chicken that was really pink inside. I wanted to cook like Mom!

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I think my next step is to write a cookbook, I am really into low fat cooking these days and have written quite a few wonderful recipes based on the Weight Watchers points system.

Hi Candy, Unfortunately you probably need to start over with the egg whites. Don't throw those whites out though! Make a nice egg white omelet with your favorite fillings or use it to bread chicken
