I'm always on the look out for new tried and true recipes and love to share the recipes that I enjoy making.
Growing up as a child my mom taught me how to cook/bake and I later entered food competitions at our local fair.
I hope to some day share my love of cooking with my children.
I love to cook casseroles..I'm not a huge fan of meat but will toss it in casseroles for my meat and potato husband. :)
