IT IS ALL ABOUT ME!

I first attempted my hand at “cooking” when I was about 16 years old. My best friend and I decided to make lettuce and tomato sandwiches on toast.

Yes, we really thought we were “cooking.” I was in charge of making the toast and Eileen had the honor of slicing the tomato and putting the lettuce on the toast.

Looking back on those long ago days makes me laugh and smile at the same time. I did not improve much until I got married at the ripe age of 27. Thankfully, my husband knew how to cook. My philosophy about cooking is simple: anyone can learn and anyone can be a great cook.

Most of the recipes come from friends that I have made over the past 30 years. Whenever possible I will credit where the recipes come from. If I am not sure—I will simply state that. I trust that you will enjoy keeping up with my BLOG as much as I will in writing it and presenting you with new recipes and experiences.

My salsa recipes comes from an old friend, Susan Paul, who hails from Texas. She moved to Florida in the middle 60’s and I met her toward the end of the 60’s. I introduced her to Glen Paul, who became her husband and she gave me a great recipe. I am not sure which one of us got the better deal. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy canning it and serving it to my family and friends. Scott, my husband is my source of encouragement and he has finally convinced me to pursue my cooking and canning on a commercial level. He also is a great deal help in the kitchen.

I am selling some of my canned goods so, if you are interested, please post to my blog so that we can chat.

Enjoy!!
