pies & cakes & cookies ohmy!

about me

I credit my mother and aunt for my love of cooking--Mom for her creativity and my aunt for putting the apron on me and letting me go. I enjoy baking most of all and when I get time, that's what I do for fun. There's never a shortage of takers! During the holidays I am a maniac for baking cookies and every year around late October, I start prowling for new creative, different ideas.

Favorite Foods:

I love food. ALL food. I'm no fan of liver, brussels sprouts, or really hot spicy stuff, but beyond that, I'm game for anything. I am drawn to good old fashioned recipes and cookbooks, and finding ways to "slim down" some of those old tried and true favorites. My favorite restaurant is Longhorn Steak House which I only get to go to on my birthday, and breakfast at Cracker Barrel is AWESOME!
