Mom of hungry boys and a hungry husband. Full time teacher pursuing PhD, so these days Quick and Easy is my game. Brasilian feijoada e couve a mineira, shrimp scampi, cranberry pie, braided sprouted wheat bread, to get around the globe a bit... Baking at the holidays with my mom using both my gramma's handwritten recipes from the 1920s, red velvet cake on birthdays, amazing deviled eggs... My 70+ Spanish host mom, Julia, declared my gazpacho andaluz "not bad", which, for a Spaniard, is pretty complimentary! Never tamper with old recipes, if it says lard, use lard. If you're worried about calories or fat, DON'T USE GRAM'S RECIPES!!! Find another one!
