An Adventure In Cooking......and so it begins!!!

I am starting this blog to share with my friends and family, and anyone else who trips along it. LOL I love to cook. I love to eat what I cook. I learned most of my cooking and baking skills from my mom. She was an EXCELLENT cook and taught me everything I know. Now if you are looking for gourmet, special ingerdient, low fat, low carb, no gluten recipes.....THIS IS NOT THE PLACE!!! LOL I have nothing against any of those kinds of dishes, but that is simply not what I do. *shakes head* I am talking about down home cookign from the fridge and the pantry, most likely with items you have on hand or are readily available at your local hometown grocery store. The kind of cooking my Granny did, my mom did, and now me.....the Little Sister. (I have two older brother.....so I am the Little Sister...make sense now???? LOL)

I have several friends and family who are constantly asking me for a new tried and true recipe from my collection. I tell them what is for dinner at our house and they want the recipe. I post what we are having for dinner on Facebook and they want me to post the recipe. They wrote me later, much later, and say, remember that one recipe.....I need it!! Please send it again. LOL I love sharing recipes with them, too!! Why??? Because for me, cooking is love! I show my family my love for them in many ways, a clean house (some days it slows love more than others), clean underwear (LOL), and yes, cooking for their hungry tummies!!!

That is what this blog will mostly be about. Sure, I might slip in posts on something else now and again.....you can skip through those if you wish. :) Feel free to print them, use them, share them with your friends and family, but most of all.....enjoy sitting around the dining room table and eating with your family. If these recipes help you in that, then I will be smiling till the cows come home.

Now I don't like to stand in the kitchen for hours.....nope.....you don't either!! Let's face it. We don't have time to fix perfect dishes with all the fixings like Martha. Most of the meals I make are quick and easy and don't take alot of time in the kitchen. And I love short cuts, so I will teach you some of those along the way as well, ok?? I know you are excited about that, because the more time you save from slaving over the stove, the more time you have to spend with that wonderful family of yours! :)

So, here we go.................................an adventure in cooking!!! *exciting*
