Welcome family and friends! I decided to create this blog in hopes of displaying heirloom recipes and stories from both sides of my family to be handed down to my children and extend my findings and my own creations to my relatives and friends for years to come. I have hopes my extended family of cousins across the country can access this site and will contribute. I carry a certificate in Basics and Gourmet Cooking.
