I am a grandmother of 7 girls and 2 grandsons. I have 3 grown children. I collect Cookbooks and love cooking. I don't bake much. I have 3 cats and I love them like they were Human. I also love to share recipes. Ethnic Recipes and Vegetarian ones. Family ones that were handed down too. Every Christmas Morning I would set the Table and put candles out and we would have Pancakes. One of the kids would choose the flavor it didn't matter what kind. We all had to sit and eat together before Presents. I just won 3 Cooking contests. One recipe was a Pie, who knew. My Baking. Oh,I do ok but cook better than bake.
