I'm a grandmother, to a7 yr old boy,with mils autism, a smart 5 and 3 yr old girls. I'm also expecting a new grandchild in Nov. Hopefully a boy. I have 3 handsome sons, who are better cooks, than the ladies in their lives. My middle son, does everthing from scratch, and is the best, though, my oldest, loves to experiment. I'm more of a baker, than anything, and love to try new recipes on my extended famliy. I'm never short of volunteers. Old home recipes. I do try to lighten them up when I can, to make them healthier. The Hawaiian menu, I made for my youngest son's wedding party. There's really no real tragedies. Just new turns to old recipes. Except for the over cooked ones.
