Mom to two fantastic sons and "Nannie" to two wonderful Grandsons. Chief cook to the same guy who stole my heart 25 years ago. I prefer baking to cooking and even though I'm a good cook, I'd much rather bake thank cook - any time! I prefer quick and tasty meals over anything complicated. My favorite things to bake are bread and my family's favorite cookies. Our family Christmas Eve 'picky bits' meal before going to church. Making peanut butter balls with my youngest son. Using recipes from my Grandmothers (who are no longer with us) some of which are in their own handwriting. The first time I made cinnamon rolls for my Dad - just like his Mom used to make. Successfully duplicating my Mom's recipe for Creamed Chicken.The first two loaves of bread I ever made. A luncheon when the sauce for the creamed chicken turned out runny! Forgetting to grease a cake bundt pan and we ate chocolate crumbs instead of cake. The turkey that wasn't done at Thanksgiving!
