Have been cooking forever - since I was old enough to stand in a chair and help my granny cook. My love and addiction to cooking were inherited from her. She taught me many valuable lessons, not only about cooking, but also about life. One of the main things she taught me was one individual can make a difference in another person's life. This quote is a favorite because it reminds me of granny's philosophy: "I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do."-Edward Everette Hale. In January 2012, I officially became a member of the Allrecipes Allstars Brand Ambassador Program. I am excited to be a part of this new adventure. God has blessed me with a loving husband, beautiful daughter and grandchildren. Thank you God for your blessings on me! Each year, the grandkids come to "Nee-Na & Papa's" and we make rolled sugar cookies for Christmas, package them all up and then we personally deliver them to the seniors in our neighborhood. Everyone looks forward to receiving the cookies and a personal visit from the kids. We were having guests over and I was preparing a pizza from scratch, upon removing the pizza from the oven, I dropped it upside down on the floor! Embarassing to me then but it has now become a happy recollection.
