I'm a Certified Massage Therapist at a luxury Spa and a student in an Esthetician program. I love to cook and try new recipes. This is one of my favorite websites for tried and true recipes. Desserts are my forte! I'm the person who is always asked to bring something yummy for dessert at potlucks, parties and functions. I grew up in rural Iowa before moving to Colorado...my Grammy, a farmers wife, could whip up dinner out of the very basic ingredients she had in her kitchen. Our dinner staple was always homemade noodles. She made the best ones. She is now gone and I'm trying to keep her recipes going. Too many to count~ The first mealoaf I tried to make my husband when married at 19..it was AWFUL and he ate every bite and asked for seconds so he wouldn't hurt my feelings.
