Proud wife, mother of three wonderful children (and one son-in-law at the present) and one amazing granddaughter!! Cooking, eating and just being in the kitchen are some of my favorite memories of my childhood and raising my children. Family + Kitchen + Good Food = Wonderful Memories I cook down home style, i still use bacon drippings in my green beans, and lard to make my sausage gravy. It'll take you back to a simplier time when families mattered more than status or money. The holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, so many people and hours and hours of laughter, (and a few fights among the little ones, but only for a minute). Home made noodles are a mainstay, not to mention my potato salad everyone in the county I think loves mine. Each of my daughters have learned the secret. When I see the smiles and get the hugs! And the Oh my god mom made......and everyone is taste testing before dinner. Anyone who cooks has had them on a regular basis, just keep trying. Some of your best recipes come from those mistakes.
