Back to Basics

I have taken some time off from my own blog as I have been busy writing for everyone else. ( making extra money writing for blogs, magazines and websites.)After the closure of our Restaurant and Bar ,The Gray Goose Bistro and Bar, last October we were unsure what the future held for us. I was offered a job for a large Mexican Food Corporation and I went away for a few months for additional and repetitive training.  I was living in a Corporate Apartment coming home for my one and a half days off a week.  I returned home to my children in January when my Husband Duane moved back to his home state, North Dakota.

While California struggles in its economy and lack of employment opportunities, North Dakota is flourishing. Duane was able to obtain a job as a "Roughneck" working on the oil rigs.
To say the least our family is, and will continue to go through some challenging changes.My life has always been hectic, a constant challenge to find that balance between being a work-a-holic and my family.
The advantage of all of this is that I have been even more creative with food. With the three of us that are home now, I have three different diets that have to be followed. I am Gluten Free, my Daughter Mary is Vegetarian, and my Son Mitch is on a "high protein" diet. ( He is playing Pee Wee Football) To maintain all three diets on a daily basis is challenging, but I am meeting the challenge and coming up with new and exciting recipes. I look forward to sharing them through my blog which I am determined to be consistent with.
You can look forward to some great recipes that nutritious as well as economical.
