I grew up in a household where I was the youngest of 7 children. My mother was a wonderful cook, and I learned most of what I know from her. I love to try new recipes, and tried & true family favorites! My favorite dessert to make is chocolate chip zucchini cake. For a main dish, pasta is always my favorite! I live in Lancaster County, PA. Some of our local cooking traditions are shoo-fly pie, chicken pot pie(like Southern chicken & dumplings), brown buttered noodles, and home grown veggies.
