About me
I'm just a home cook who is passionate about food. I love cooking and baking and sharing the good and bad on my blog. I've been married to Joe for over 28 years and we have two adult children, 2 cats and 1 beloved 12-year-old Boston Terrier. I started baking when I was in my teens and then when I married in 1982 I bought my first cookbook (Betty Crocker) and found out I loved cooking as much as baking. I haven't stopped since. I started my blog back in February 2010 and am having a blast documenting what comes out of my kitchen.
Cooking Influences
My maternal grandmother was a wonderful cook and baker. Everything was from scratch naturally and she was always making us grandkids our favourite treats. When I was growing up, my Mom cooked for us every single night (from scratch) and I carried on that tradition when I married and had kids. I hope I've passed my love of food onto my kids and someday my grandkids will be saying what a great cook their grandma is. :o)
