Thank you for visiting my blog on realistic cooking ideas for busy people! I am a Software Testing Manager who not only loves the testing field but also cooking! Between working and writing for two international software testing magazines, I often find myself with limited time and energy to cook. The inspiration for this website came from too many disappointments from local restaurants. Often my husband and I would wait 30-minutes or longer to be seated only to be served a sub-par dinner at high prices. We got tired of this routine and decided we would take control of our menu planning finding ways to make delicious and easy meals. I created this blog to share my easy to make recipes and tips with other busy people.
My husband Greg and I are active people so I try to make healthy recipes. We enjoy disc golf, biking, hiking, working out, and watching extreme sports such as Hydroplane Racing and drag racing. I particularly enjoy the dragsters! Along the way I will share some of our experiences that inspire our recipes and our personal journey through life!
I hope you find a recipe or two from my blog! And if you have a different spin on one of my recipes, I would love to hear from you. Feel free to email me or add a comment. Below is more information on how to contact me. Stay tune for a delicious journey!

I found your blog when I googled Trek 3.0 I just got rid of my mountain bike of 25 years that my husband bought me in college. It was getting to uncomfortable to ride so with much trepidation I gave it away. I found the Trek and loved it so I bought it today. Thank you for sharing your information about the padded shorts. It’s exactly what I wanted to hear. I have an iphone and will get the holder too. I related to everything you said about biking. I have to try the crab cakes! I never pass them up if they are on a menu. As for all things motorized, my husband is a pilot… I need not say more. Thank you for the time and thought you have put into your blog. Alexandria
Thank you Alexandria for stopping by and sharing your experiences! I now love cycling with my Trek bike! The padded shorts with the gel seats does help – plus of course just getting use to riding again. I found I got into shape quickly for our hiking trip to NH once I got my Trek bike. Not only do I LOVE my iPhone (I had other mobile devices) the holder is really nice to track your trips. The crab cakes are really good – but they are different than if they are deep fried. Your husband must witness some amazing views being a pilot! Have a great day! Bernice
