THE SUGAR FIX

Michele Foster has been passionate about cooking desserts since she was very young.  Like most cooks, some things worked out great, and some were complete disasters.  This book contains recipes and hints from the experience gained from the successes and disasters.  Of course, the disastrous recipes will never be seen or tasted by anyone!  She won’t let anything out of the kitchen until it meets an obsessive-compulsive (or as some have said – anal) set of criteria.  It must taste great, as little effort as possible, and must please her family most of all.

Michele has had to adapt to the challenges of Multiple Sclerosis.  This has influenced the writing of this cookbook as well as the way some of the recipes are put together.  As anyone with MS knows, fatigue is a major problem and Michele tries to address this issue with simple but delicious recipes.  

New cooks and experienced cooks will love the recipes and maybe even some of the comments in this book.  As any cook knows, love of God and family makes all the difference in something to eat and something your family begs to be made.

Michele started decorating cakes when she decided to stay at home with kids, but needed something to do.  After a few years of having a home based business, her husband talked her into opening a shop.  So she opened a small bakery/restaurant in Choctaw, Oklahoma.  She made delicious homemade cakes, cookies, pies, a variety of desserts, sandwiches, and soups. Michele is a perfectionist and an extremely picky eater.  These factors highly influenced how she ran her business and developed her recipes.  The Sugar Fix was only open for a short time due to the sudden onset of Multiple Sclerosis, but the ideas, principles,  and flavors are carried on in this book.
