about me

Hello! I'm originally from Illinois/Iowa and moved to Colorado in 1983 to find work. I've been married 20 years, 49, with 2 adult children and grandmother to 3 grand children and just found out one more is on the way! We have a 14 year old cat, and a 8 month old rescued puppy.

For fun I love to read romance novels and to look thru old cook books, the older the better.

Biggest pet peeve's are liars and people who don't do what they say they are going to do.

I like to meal plan and I know I am going to shock you when I tell you all that I love to go grocery shopping! How weird is that?


My family is like fudge, mostly sweet, with a few nuts!

Favorite Foods:

I probally am most known for my down home cooking, green chili and breakfast burritos. I don't do extravagent, just good old fashioned foods.

I love mexican, texmex, and my favorite pizza is Harris Pizza in Davenport Iowa. Franks Pizza has the best Spaghetti and frid chicken and is 2nd on my list for pizza. Whiteys Ice Cream and Maid Rites are all foods I miss from my home town of Davenport Iowa.

Why can't anyone make pork tenderloin sandwiches besided the state of Iowa??

Biggest love of food is anything that's in season: Rocky Ford cantalope in August is my absolute fav and Palisades Peaches! Hatch green chilies, tomato's from my garden and Olathe sweet corn. I can't wait for summer and the veggies and fruit!

I am in the process of trying to put together a family cookbook, what a huge job I've got to do!

I look forward to being a long timer on this site and sharing with you all the many recipes that I have. Happy cooking!
