I am from a long line of southern italians. My grandmother taught me the joy of cooking and baking. I have her to thank for my love of food. While I love to prepare a good homecooked meal my passion is baking. I love to bake! Pies, cakes, cookies, and bread all from scratch. I have handmade cast iron skillets that were my great grandmother's. I am always learning new techniques and creating new recipes for my family. Too many to list....but the good thing is I learn from the mistakes and endup with a very tastly recipe.
