I live in a rural area of central FL caleed Indian Lake Estates with my Hubby, 7 dogs (poodles & Poms) and 4 rescued cats! I am very active in charity work & church, while trying to reach people for Christ. Desserts are my favorite things to cook, Grandma Ople's Apple Pie has become my signature pie and favorite with my family and friends. I also enjoy making a good spaghetti or lasagne and my husband loves home-made waffles! My mother-in-law's chicken & dumplings (passed down). I am the only one left in the family that has been able to master these. A large variety of Christmas cookies to pass out to friends & family and my mom's lemon meringue pie! A great chocolate chip cookie! Too much barley in my beef barley soup. You know how thick that was!
