RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Some of my favorite childhood memories are of cooking and baking with my mom and/or my grandmother. I still love cooking many of the recipes they taught me. Now I don't do nearly enough cooking as I would like, as I don't often get much time. I like trying new ingredients and flavor combinations, but also love going back to my classic favorites.
