About



Hi! I'm Linda and I started this blog because I love to cook and have always shared tips, ideas and recipes with friends and family…. I graduated from the absolute best school there is...the institute of my Mother's and Grandmothers' kitchens... So consider yourself welcome in my kitchen….pour yourself a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy…. But most of all please leave your comments.. I'd love to hear from you!

Duke was my happy tail wagging taste tester ... his tail wagged constantly as he would watch me cook...he has left us now but he will always be remembered ... we're sure he is now happy mooching cookies from Grandma.
