I grew up with amazing cooks in my family. My Grandmother was the best with my mom in a very close 2nd. Everything they made was beyond excellent. I'm a busy lady these days, hoping to have more time soon to spend time cooking for and with my kids. My new found passion is baking...love to grill in the summer time too. polish sausage on Easter, pumpkin bread in October, almond candy cane cookies for Christmas, ahhh...the list could go on and on! a thanksgiving feast in 2007 that was too die for. I'm notorious for not fully reading a recipe until it's too late and I've done something wrong. Sometimes those tragedies actually turn out even better though!
