ARghhhhhhhhhhh was the sound I made when I was a young wife and I learned that the in-laws were coming for Thanksgiving. Once the panic was over, and I could hold a pencil without crying, I started to right a menu. From there I made a shopping list. I added up the cost of that shopping list… MORE

About Me
My hubby and I live in the snow belt of ny state. I love to cook and be creative cooking. Hubby likes to eat my cooking even the mistakes lol charlie eats anything is his motto. :) I love to garden. This year we are gardening in containers. easy to reach, easy to keep the wildlife out and closer to the kitchen.
My favorite things to cook
I like to cook meals that make folks feel good and go oh yummmmmm. When my hubby says I am a lucky guy and then yum I know its a winner.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I come from a family of women that cooked from scratch. that grew what they needed and canned what was leftover. In my travels I have learned many different styles from other wonderful women. So it is more then just my family that has influenced me.
My cooking triumphs
there are many.. but the one that means the most is from my daughter when she telephoned me to get my baked ziti recipe her favorite. :)
My cooking tragedies
lol oh my there have been so many over the decades..lol from childhood baking brownies by myself and using a 1/2cup of salt lol instead of flour lol they smelled good and my mom, with that proud look, served the first piece to my dads boss lol I shall never forget that look on that poor mans face lol
