I'm a mother of 3 girls and grandmother to 2 I love to cook and create recipes. I have been able to duplicate many meals after eatting them at restaurants and made them even better.... I cook for anyone and everyone and enjoy it very much. I love to cook anything with garlic...and cheese is also one of my fave I can cook Italian or simple easy great tasting meals always from scratch I do not used processed products and the only thing in my pantry is canned tomatoes or fruits or mushroom soup which in a pinch can be the beginning of a great sauce. I have an extensive herb and spice collections and love to use them always Duplicating meals from Italian to Thai... I set the oven on fire when I was melting butter for bake potatoes...this was years ago when microwaves were not in every household....
