Hi Sarah, Welcome! Hey, I was a CTMH Consultant for six years! Sounds like we have a lot in common. I am sure this is going to be a really fun board once it is officially up and running.

Hi Christine! I'm Dawn, I work for Anne on her CLEVER sites. Isn't she terrific?! This is so exciting that she has the forums running!
Your site is great! I am not the biggest fan of cooking, I prefer the delivery system! ; )
I do hope I can grab a few great recipes off here soon though! I'd like simple, quick meal recipes if anyone has any! Thanks!!
Dawn

Hey Dawn, where in WI do you live. I used to live north of Green Bay for 4 years. Since this is a food forum, I love good ole booyah that I was introduced to in WI. Never heard of it before I lived in WI.

Hello! Not to confuse things, but I'm Dawn also! I am always looking for good quick meal ideas since I work FT outside the home. Right now I am 31 weeks pregnant and have gestational diabetes, so if anyone has any good low carb/low sugar recipies, I would love to try them! Can't wait to get to know you all better!

Hello I am Judith. I love to cook and try to plan my meals weekly. I do better some weeks than others. I love trying new recipes especially healthy ones. I try to feed my family healthy options but I like to eat and I like good food so I won't serve it if it doesn't taste good. Any new recipes I gladly welcome. It is easy to get into a rut.

Guess after all my posts I ought to say HI! lol I love to cook but I never seem have the time! I really have to watch what goes into our mouths b/c my 10 year old has arthritis and the meds mess up his appetite. Basically I've got to make sure he's getting what he needs in the small amounts he calls meals, lol. Anyway, I love food and I love doing it cheap, more b/c my budget won't allow too much, but I truly enjoy saving money...

Hello everyone,
My name is Yuki and I live in Washington State. Our family subscribes to the Dine Without Whine service and enjoy it immensely. I am a stay-at-home mom running a business on the side and there never seems to be enough time to "do it all". Since my husband is the gourmet cook and I am the gourmet baker we make a great meal making team. The problem was that since he is the one who supports us, dinner became my responsiblity and I am not a good cook - well at least not to his standards :( With Christine's service I am able to put a grand meal on the table that my 2 young kids AND my gourmet cooking husband will eat.

Hi,
I'm Misti...originally from Louisiana but now we're in Georgia due to Hurricane Katrina. I'm married to Jerry...Nov 2nd makes 4 years. We have an adorable 10 month old, Joshua (I've tried to upload his pic but I'm not a computer expert so hopefully I'll figure it out). We live on campus at a college and don't have a "kitchen"...we have 2 lil burners, a griddle, crock pot (it's great), um...that's about it...no oven....quick and easy no bake recipes are my friend:) I told my hubby about the menu thing that ya'll have...his eyes lit up:) That would make life a lot easier. I always plan on making a menu but never have time. It would be wise to let someone else make the menu and shopping list for me:) I've been experiencing with crock pot recipes in a book...it surprises me that some of the recipes made it in the book...they're horrible. So, I'm going to try a few from the sample recipe...and I'll tell ya what I think...they sound wonderful and easy:) I would rather spend hours with my family...than hours preparing a meal (that usually doesn't taste too good hehe)

HI my name is Denise I live in PA. I have 2 adult children and a beautiful granddaughter, she is a joy! I love to cook, always trying something new. I try to make everything from scratch even my cream of whatever soup. I am always look for ways to save money when it comes to cooking. The prices at the stores are climbing.

Hi,I'm Terri from SW WI, fairly new to this site and still looking/learning- I'm the mom of 3 grown boys, grandma to 4 beautiful children, I do enjoy cooking/baking and have even made a wedding cake - always looking for new and easy recipes - I amy work at home but seems I run out of time for making meals sometimes so easy is great! My other half, Greg, isn't picky so that helps. Looking forward to new ideas!

Hi Terri!
I'm always looking for good meals that I can freeze. I like to freeze some in individual containers. This way my husband can take them to work and heat them up. I also find it good to have something I can defrost and heat up for the whole family if I am in a time crunch. I am looking forward to using this forum! Thanks for all your work!
