My husband, Walt and I live in Huntley, Illinois; about 1 hour west/northwest of Chicago O'Hare airport. I'm a stay at home wife with 3 adult children. I collect old cookbooks, enjoy reading, gardening, canning, candy making and jewelry making. I'm passionate about my savior, singing on the worship team and volunteering for a non-profit that provides free legal services to poor families.
My favorite cookbooks are Taste of Home Contest Winning and those authored by Rachael Ray.
A pet peeve is when a cook doesn't give an alternative for a difficult to find ingredient.
