About me
Cooking calms me, so I do a lot of it! I cook with the very freshest ingredients, preferably something that I just picked from my own garden - or from a local farmer's garden. I collect cookbooks (over 300), spanning from 1841 to current, many are rare collectibles. Being allergic to many commercial preservatives, I now can my own pickles and salsas, pizza sauce, relishes - you name it, if I can preserve it, I will try!! You will see my recipes will be all over the place, a lot of Amish cooking, a lot of Mediterranean cooking, a lot of fancy-schmancy, and lots of appetizers! However, you will rarely see desserts - unless they involve vegetables or ways around using regular milk... the oven and I don't see eye to eye if there is a lot of sugar involved... I can bake yeast breads with the best of them though! I have never heard of an onion or garlic addiction, but I truly cannot remember a day when I did not ingest something from the allium family... maybe a 'garliholic' ? :)

Thanks for friending!

I must admit, I love to bake, but I'm not so comfortable with yeast recipes outside of using my bread machine. I guess I need taught the finer art of kneading!

I do enjoy zucchini recipes. I grew up with a HUGE garden. But since I'm a teacher with my own children, and so much harvesting happens when we'd be going back to school with a full schedule, I've let go of that tradition. It was wonderful enjoying home-grown vegetables all year round, though.

Your canned goods look beautiful. Your Grandma Dailey would be proud of you. She had the most beautiful garden and she canned everything. You were always welcome to go down to her cellar and pick out whatever you wanted and she would fix it for you. She made some wonderful jams and apple butter too.
