About the Author

I love to cook. Plain and simple. It’s one of my favorite things in life. However, the love of my kitchen goes beyond turning out a great meal. It has been a gathering place for my children, family, and friends along many years of every day eating to celebrating life’s milestones.  The kitchen is the heart of the home and a place for me to nurture the souls who partake of my cooking.  Let me say, I am not a recipe writer, but love hunting through old cookbooks and uncovering delicious recipes that are tried and true.  My hope is that this blog will inspire cooks with my found and uncovered recipes, be a source of for creating delicious food, and be a legacy of recipes for my daughters and grandchildren.  It is not all about the cooking and the great food we turn out, but equally important is the time we spend nourishing our soles with friendship, love, and admiration for the cooks who have come before.
