I am a wife, mother and grandma who enjoys the many aspects of homemaking. A variety of interests and hobbies combined with travel keep me active. They reflect the importance of family, friends, home and good food.
Cook ingredients that you are used to cooking by other techniques, such as fish, chicken, or hamburgers. In other words be comfortable with the ingredients you are using.

A Guest Blogger

Today will be special in that I'm planning on posting two entries today. In less than 2 hours I'm having a lower wisdom tooth extracted which means soft foods for me for a few days. I thought I would focus on that since I haven't seen any sites with these types of recipes. Oh sure I could toss everything into a blender but that wouldn't be much fun. So watch for the second posting later today.

I've posted over a hundred entries now! It doesn't seem possible especially since most of them have pictures and recipes. Since my blog started last April you have seen a change in the way I present pictures of my food. I've been playing with Adobe Photoshop CS for the past few months and learning animation. My goal is to enhance my blogs with pleasing photos.
