Recipes Inspired in
Grandma's Kitchen
Everyone has something they do well and
for me, it's cooking and baking. I can remember when I was
about 4 years old sitting on a red stool in my Grandmother's
kitchen watching her make Strawberry Jam. I can still see
her in my mind as she showed me (as if every 4 year old
should know how to make jam) how to tell when the jam was
done by the way it dripped off the spoon.
Extra good cooking (and baking) was an everyday occurrence
as I was growing up. But without a doubt my sister and 5
brothers were accustomed to good cooking and baking. We all
agree the best of the best were the Cinnamon Rolls our
Grandmother made, no matter what,
every Saturday morning of her life. It was one of those old
family recipes that was made with a little bit of this and a
little bit of that and flour till it felt right. Some family
favorite recipes come from my Great Grandmother, especially
the
Chili Sauce and
Molasses Cookies recipes. Mom was my teacher, giving me many of the basics
I use today and so much more. In my family, I guess it just
comes naturally. And so it is, I invite you to:
Stroll
down Main Street and browse through the restaurants and
shops. Cooking has been a passion for me for many years now
and I would like to share my adventure of cooking with you.
My hope is that you will find recipes that will be
to your liking, recipes that could be served at a family
outing, when friends come to visit, holiday time or any time of day.
