The Quick Gourmet

Why I made this Quick Gourmet page, when there are real chefs on Squidoo: (What was I thinking?)

I know that there are a lot of gourmet cooks and "foodies" on Squidoo. This lens is not for them, Instead this is for Moms with no time, career people with no time, or anyone with no time or desire to spend any significant time in the kitchen, but who still want to eat well.
It's gourmet for busy people, thus the name.

I hadn't meant to publish food lenses. I love to cook, but quit doing it a while back when my kids left the house. Without the daily necessity of cooking meals, I just sort of quit. There are so many things I like to do and want to do, that I began eating snack foods and cold foods, so I would not have to stop what I'm doing.

But I joined a group on Squidoo called Rocket Moms and one of our assignments was to create a recipe lens. While looking through some of mine, I noticed that I have quite a collection of quick and tasty recipes.

Voila, Quick Gourmet was born.

Here are some of my recipes, tips, and favorite products to make cooking fun and produce healthy, enjoyable food experiences without too much fuss.

Enjoy!
