Food is definitely one of my favorite things, and I take my treats seriously.

I’m sure chocolate ice cream will be in heaven when I get there ….or I’m not going.

In my home, growing up, food was to share. It was how you said “I love you”, “congratulations”,” I’m thinking of you” and so much more. It was seriously better than a Hallmark card. As a family we would work in the kitchen making food, sit around the kitchen table eating food and lounge on the sofa reminiscing about food. whether it was grandma’s pie, mom’s cookies or my food experiments in the kitchen (Like the time I tried to make blue whipped cream and made green butter instead).

Now I have a family of my own and it is not uncommon to hear a comment like…. “mom, did you already make dinner?” “No, sweetie, not yet, but I tried a new brownie recipe.”

I am a self-taught baker so I’ve learned through trial and error. But the silver lining is that errors, or “the uglies” as we call them in our house are still tasty. My family and my neighbors are my taste testers.

I believe in good food and sharing recipes.

I love to help others create!
