Why this recipe works Marble cake brings the best of both worlds to the dessert table. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them. I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too.

I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job.) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992.
