About Me

At the age of 9, I learned to create meal from little of nothing. Being the eldest of four, I had to care for my siblings and feed them too. I learned quickly to stretch ingredients to make meals. Little did I know that it would follow me through out my life. I’ve continued making meals from little of nothing. Its taught me to experiment while cooking and I’ve learn to create some great dishes.

Along the way I’ve shared my dishes with others and they’ve been thrilled. Every holiday everyone begs me to make my Grandma Virginia’s homemade chicken and noodles, because no one can create them, but me. As a child I use to sit and watch her cook her many recipes from scratch. She was an old fashion cook who loved to cook. Now I’m going to share my recipes with you and I will answer any questions you have about food. I’ve been known to be out of one ingredient and use something else and it turns out better then it would have been with original ingredient.

I watched my Grandmother Hazel make her cabbage rolls as a young child. It was surprising how many of the cabbage rolls she could make in such a short time .

I have a teenage daughter  and have been in a relationship for over 10 years.

  1. This was the only place I could find to tell you about a couple of questions I’ve been asked. At one of my book signings a young lady (30s) asked if the recipe calls for the egg yolk can you use the whole egg. Then she wanted to know how to separate an egg. Then she wanted to know which part of the egg was the yolk! At another signing a young lady wanted to know which part of the pig did the pork come from. No I didn’t laugh at either question. I see this as a failure in the education of our children in basic cooking. Neither question was a joke both girls were serious. The egg yolk one has contacted me to tell me how much she has enjoyed cooking from my book. We need Home Education back in the schools!

    I think you should do a week dedicated to meals for a family of four under ten dollars. I also think you should do a week to eating for one on a budget! xoxooxoox
