I'm a thirty-something, single, meeting and event planner living in NYC. I love to cook and am currently trying to compile my favorite quick, easy and healthy recipies. I've found that taking the time to make healthy food has been an important factor in my losing 50 lbs (and counting)!

Hi, I'm Ron, and I'm an ME/CFS survivor (so far anyway), 24 years and counting. I am, at the time of writing, pretty much housebound. This restricts me to mostly sedentary pastimes - reading, blogging, occasionally sloping off to the pub, and cooking when I can, which isn't as often as I'd like. I do, though, make my own bread by hand, at least once a week - good food and physio in one...
