I am mom to three wonderful children and grandmother of one grandson. Soups on a cold winter day. I also like to cook my usual steak and gravy becaue it goes so well with most of the country food dishes I make. In the summer months I choose recipes I can use with fresh garden vegtables. I love cooking with my children. It is a great time to share our thoughts and talk about the days events and whats going on in their lives. Some of my favorite traditions is baking pumpkin bread in the fall and making Christmas cookies to give as stocking stuffers or just to add a special touch to a gift. Many! as all good cooks now. Many! as all good cooks know.
