I live in central Idaho - home of pine trees and mountains. The photo is of my cat, Tommy. He adopted me when I moved into my current residence about 6 years ago. I work as office manager for a Real Estate company but spend my free time pouring thru recipes in search of something new and different. Baking has been my hobby since I was 9 years old and now as I rapidly approach 60, it's becoming an obsession! I have 3 married children and 13 grandchildren. My favorite cookbook is "Bach to the Kitchen" by the WA-ID Symphony league members. It is one of the best I've ever come across. I love to cook, eat, read, do crafts and spend time with my family. My pet peeve is people who can eat whatever they want and not gain weight!!!
I love baking cookies & cakes. I have a passion for Italian,Greek, Mexican & German food. I'm probably most famous for appetizers because I help cater the Musical Gardens fundraiser every summer for the WA-ID Symphony. Everyone asks for the recipes, so I must be doing something right. My favorite restaurant is Olive Garden (probably because I'm a carb-aholic!). I guess you could say I never met a pasta or pastry I didn't like (unfortunately for my waistline!).
