About me
I was brought up in the kitchen and I love it! I love to cook, bake and share all I've learned in this lifetime! Taught cooking and baking, ran several restaurants, a deli and I still cater. I still can many of my own foods; freeze many and dry - I'll always preserve foods. I was brought up learning "to survive". I also write cookbooks. I have so much to share - and I hope you get to try many of my recipes! When I'm not in the kitchen, I'm sewing, crocheting, knitting or working on crafts of some sort. I enjoy making my own curtains and draperies, bedspreads and blankets, sweaters, etc. I enjoy good foods - of course. And I enjoy a good book and a good movie. Very easy to get along with and I have a soft spot for all the children in the world. I am an adopted gram to 2 of the most beautiful little ones in the world - God blessed me with them both. So spoiling them is a top priority. They love to eat - and I love to cook and bake - and they both have an interest in learning how to cook and bake - which makes me a very happy person! And I would also like to thank everyone for all the lovely compliments and reviews to my recipes! It is my sincere hope that you get to try some of them and they will become your family favorites as well! UPDATE - I've just started my first three recipe and cooking sites - everyone has been pushing me into it - so what the heck. They are still quite new - and I've so much to add to them. http://www.oldfashionedhomecooking.net/ Strictly homemade - quit eating junk!
