about me

I am a retired mom and grandmother. We have two dogs which have now become our kiddies. I am finally able to enjoy my passion for cooking now that I am retired. I love cooking for others and hosting dinner parties. I love all cookbooks and have collected way to many throughout the years. My fav's are TOH and their partner cookbooks. I find these cookbooks are down to earth and I usually have the ingredients in the pantry. Also, now that I am retired I am enjoying traveling throughout the US and other countries.

Favorite Foods:

I love to cook most anything. I love anything tropical/hawaiian. I seem to have the hardest time with candies but have the regulars that I always make during the holiday seasons. My personal favorite meal is surf & turf (steak & lobster). I have too many favorite restaurants to even mention. The only kind of food that I am not overly crazy about is italian, just not a pasta kind of girl.

When trying new recipes, I will always make them to "the letter" on the initial try (unless the recipe contains an ingredient I just dont like). I want to be fair as a reviewer to the original recipe/submitter. If the recipe is a keeper, I will come back and amend my comments with additional changes I made that the community might enjoy also. I enjoy receiving the feedback on my recipes and will always return the favour.

For anyone trying one of my recipes, I always try to email the chef to let them know I appreciated them taking the time to try one of my recipes, as well as leaving their comments/ratings. Recently I've encountered several chefs that zmail is not enabled, so please at this time, let me thank those chefs for trying my recipe, I hope you enjoyed it. I understand that all recipes are not for all people and some will love a recipe while others may not and isnt it grand that we are not all carbon copies of each other!! But anyways, thanks to all that try a recipe!
