Am the proud mother of two beautiful daughters. One very handsom son, who is serving his country in the United States Army, I am very proud of him! In Nov. of 2008 I became the grandmother of two very precious grandaughters, born eight days apart! How lucky am I? I love to cook what I call like to call "old fashion way". Like Sunday dinner at Grandma's house, but healthier. OH!! Holidays!! They have to be tradional in my house. Each holiday has it's own special meal. No changing nothing. Maybe, and thats a big maybe, I will try a new side dish! I learned how to cook on my own, and cooking shows helped alot!:) When I finally learned to use spices it all came together for me. favorite things to use in my cooking, garlic, onion, olive oil. First time I made chili for my husband shortly after we were married. HA! HA! We could not eat it!!! Was terrible. In 28 yrs, I have become an excellent cook!! But even the excellent cooks still make a mistakes every so often, keeps us grounded!:)
