 Hello from Virginia Hello Everyone, I am Carol, a "cook at home" in Virginia. I am married, have 6 cats and no kids, unless you count the furry ones! I love to cook any kind of food. Right now, I am learning how to take some of my favorite dishes and recreate them so that they are more healthy; as my husband and I are losing weight and want to continue that process. I have not been to any cooking schools, what I know I have learned from books and TV. I look forward to meeting the folks around here!  |

 Hello Carol! Welcome to the community. This is a wonderful place for home cooks to share and to learn from the professionals and each other. Whether you want to lighten your dishes, learn more about everything from baking to pickling and much more, this is the place. We hope you'll peruse the forums (use the search tool to focus on topics you want); read the cooking articles, cookbook reviews and recipes; and have a look at the photo gallery. What do you enjoy cooking? In what way do you want to lighten dishes? I'm sure there are people here who can suggest ways to lighten carbs, fat, salt, sugar.... you get the picture.  We hope you visit and participate often. Welcome! Mezzaluna

 What do you enjoy cooking? In what way do you want to lighten dishes? I'm sure there are people here who can suggest ways to lighten carbs, fat, salt, sugar.... you get the picture. I am looking to cut calories and carbs from some of my favorite dishes like lasagna, mac n cheese and every other noodle in any form! I do a lot of grilling, but with winter approaching, I guess that will end! Boo Hoo! I like rice dishes and all kinds of broiled meats and most types of salads and vegetables. There are many things that I have never tried that seem a little exotic to me, so I guess I will have to be brave and experiment! |

| You're going to really enjoy being here, Carol. Try posting a question in the recipe forum about how to lighten a specific dish, and in what respect (carbs, sugar, etc.). It helps to be fairly specific in your queries. Have fun! Mezz
