About Me

So glad you stopped by. I’m Romaine (aka Paula in real life) and I really do eat a lot of salad. Mostly out of a jar, of course.

10 Random Facts….

1. I love dessert. Just look at my recipe index. I once went several years denying myself anything with added sugar. Didn’t last. Couldn’t stand it. It’s a very unsocial habit.

2. I love veggies–which can be unsocial too. Can’t find a lot of friends to eat eggplant or brussels sprouts with me. Coming up with more appealing ways to prepare them is one of my less important goals in life.

3. Dieting doesn’t work for me. That’s why I have devised so many “skinny secrets” which include salad in a jar.

4. I have a degree in Home Economics (known as Family and Consumer Sciences these days) and one in Ultrasound. I know, totally unrelated. One is fun, one pays the bills. Guess which.

5. Besides dessert and veggies, I am obsessed with moderate-in-calories recipes, pizza, bread machines and microwave cooking. Probably because of previous food-related jobs including kitchen supervisor and cooking school teacher at The Greenhouse (a luxury weight-loss spa), a research and development position with Pizza Inn, and teaching microwave cooking schools back in the 80’s.

6. My favorite way to waste time is taking pictures of food. Second favorite is photoshopping them.

7. Except for my long-standing (or is it longsuffering) husband, my favorite member of our family is my new grandson. Hope my other relatives will understand.

8. I’m a follower of Jesus, even if I let him out of my sight occasionally. Thankfully, he keeps drawing me back — close to himself.

9. Some day soon, I’m going to slurp this blog into a cookbook (most likely for myself, only.) My primary purpose and goal for this website is to record all my recipes. I’m also having a ton of fun belonging to the Tuesdays with Dorie group which requires a blog for membership and was a motivating factor in starting this website.

10. I LOVE your comments and feedback. Thanks so much! Send questions to: pzrhodes at hotmail.com.

Paula, I see there is another Debbie blogger, so I will shorten to Deb until I can come up with something more creative

My salivary glands are becoming active and it is all your fault.

I like the picture of the flour sifter (seems like I may recognize it), and your new icons on the site look cool. Happy New Year and enjoy Christmas with the kids this weekend.
