About me
Married to my high school sweet heart for 22 years, and proud mom of 2 daughters; one 17, one 20. I'm also a grandmother to a 16 month old grandson...Yes. At 42 (now 43), I was made a grandmother waaaay too young! LOL! I'm a full time, stay-home mom as well as a full time, stay-home-grandma. My older daughter and grandson live with us, and have since the day we brought them home from the hospital. It's been quite a challenge and readjustment having a baby in our home. After all, It's been 17 years since I last had to care for a little one! I was shocked to find that I am quite rusty! But...it's like riding a bicycle...it's all coming back! I'm looking forward to having a mini-assistant in the kitchen with me. I can already see him trying to lick the batter off of the spatula, while I'm freaking out because of the raw egg!!! LOL! ! =O I'm from an Italian Family, and daughter of a retired New York City Pastry Chef! Bet you can guess my favorite foods!!!??? I'm very picky about food! I'd rather prepare meals and desserts at home than eat in a restaurant. I will only dine in nicer restaurants, and prefer to stay away from fast food. I'm a pastry chef "want-to-be", who would bake and prepare desserts 7 days a week if I had the time! Chocolate desserts of any kind, and cheesecake are my top 2 favorites...3rd would be homemade ice cream, with Gelato being the favorite in that category. My dream is to one day have my own business making gourmet cheesecakes. Although I am in my early 40's, I still have hope that I can give it a shot within the next couple of years. Guess it's in my blood!!! While cheesecakes rank at the top of my list to play around with, I love baking everything. PS... My mom and I this Thanksgiving.
