My profession is mortgage loan consultant but cooking and keeping house are my passions. My greatest loves are my daughter and granddaughter. Collecting recipes is like an addiction. If I started cooking them today, I would not make it through my collection and yet, I continue looking for new recipes. I love baking cakes and other desserts, especially cheesecakes. I also enjoy making a variety of soups and sauces for the freezer in the fall. Brunch is my favorite meal to plan and to prepare. Baking yeast breads is a very rewarding and relaxing pasttime for me. My famly looks forward most of all to Thanksgiving dinner and brunch on Christmas morning. We always change the menus but keep a few favorites from year to year. My husband looks forward to Jumbo Overnight Cinnamon Rolls. I found the recipe in a special Christmas edition magazine in 1991 and have made them for him every Christmas since. My sister's bridal shower and my daughter's baby shower are both events I am very proud of. Both were brunches, my favorite meal to prepare. I like to think that all my family holiday meals are triumphs! I have done my best to forget them! The most recent is the pumpkin pie I dumped on the oven door and the floor as I was putting it in the oven. It's amazing how much filling is actually in a pie crust! You have no idea until it's running all over the kitchen!
