about me

I enjoy cooking, reading, and collecting recipes. I probably own about 300 cookbooks ranging from big books to the little paper back kind. Reading a cookbook is as much fun as reading a novel to me. I have all the Southern Living Annual Cookbooks from the year 1979 through the year 2000. I find these recipes rarely fail me and are used most often out of my collection.

Favorite Foods:

I am constantly making new things to feed my family. (at least once a week, something new) Several years ago I started marking the recipes in the books with notations on how it was liked. Each member of my family (and any company too) rate the recipes cooked from 1 to 10. If I see 10's then I know it's good enough to make again! I date each recipe the first time I use it and list the names of any company we may have had for dinner that night also. We have found this fun, as amusing, when looking through cookbooks for new recipes and run across notes. I have two daughters who one day will inherit my collection and they will find many laughs among the pages as well as know "this is the recipe for such and such momma used to make!" I also keep a book of reference which tells me the name of a recipe, which book I got it from, and the page it was on. This helps me recover one without having to look through 300 books!
