Hi! I was born and raised on the East coast and live there still. I have 3 grown children, husband of 31 years and a granddaughter. I work fulltime so I don't have as much time as I would like for cooking. I do what I can with the time that I have! I like cooking winter foods and comfort foods for my family. I am not as successful with baking. I keep trying... I make a good chili that my kids like on cold Sundays while watching football. I like to make it ahead so I don't miss any of the game. And, there is the Thanksgiving blueberry pie that is a must around here.
