I have a pretty high stress job in law enforcement (forensics), so I like to keep the rest of my life as simple and stress free as possible. I'm a recently diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic who has her numbers well under control now but is always looking for new and innovative ways to keep the "diet" interesting. I love to cook, but need to keep it simple since it's just me eating it most of the time.
I make a really, really good chocolate chip cookie with lots and lots of walnuts. Some doctors I used to work for many years ago would actually pay me to make them for special occasions and one told me if I wanted to start a business with them, he'd be willing to invest! However, I'm happy just to make them for friends, family and special occasions. I also make a good Paella, but I can't take credit for the recipe as my father came up with it (and he's an excellent cook). My family is Italian, so we do very good Italian dishes. No jar sauce for us!
I can't think of a recipe that has totally fallen apart on me, but then, I'm not one to try to make anything too high and mighty. I like to keep it simple, but with fresh, high quality ingredients. Probably my biggest disaster is the mess I make doing it!
Here's to continuing to lose weight this year while eating food I really do enjoy!
