about me

I live in southeastern South Dakota, near the Missouri River. I am managing editor of the weekly newspaper in a small town ten miles from where I live and am also our church secretary. I also keep busy with my 12 year old son's activities. It's been a challenge to learn to cook in smaller quantities since both of my daughters are grown and on their own. I enjoying cooking, baking, collecting cookbooks, trying new recipes, reading, hunting, fishing and bowling. My favorite cookbooks are church cookbooks. I have a church cookbook that I received from an aunt as a shower gift 25 years ago that has become "well-worn" and is my "go-to" cookbook along with a couple of other cookbooks that I frequently use. The rest of my cookbooks also get used but not as often as my favorites. My kids laugh at me as I read cookbooks like others read novels and always have sticky notes handy to mark pages with recipes that I want to try.

Favorite Foods:

My favorite dish to cook depends on the time of the year. In the summer it is anything grilled. In the winter I love to bake, make duck and dumplings or dumpling soup. We also eat alot of game as our family hunts and fishes so am always on the look-out for new recipes for wild goose, pheasant and venison as well as new ways to prepare catfish and walleye.
My favorite foods are my dad's beef heart stew--he makes enough for a threshing crew but it is so good and my mom's German kuchen. My mom bakes at least twice a week and she and my dad live a few blocks from us so when I don't have time to bake, mom sends baking home with my son after school!
