How I Got Started

I thought with one of my first posts, that I should tell everyone how I got started. Even though I am still learning but I figured it would help you to know more about me.

When I was little, I always played kitchen with my cousins and friends. We would set up the dining room so we could take orders from our stuffed animals. We would use little notepads and pens to write what they wanted down, there was a separate area away from the dining area for the kitchen. We even would use some plates to make it seem more real. Even though I donโ€™t think my mom appreciated the additional dishes. Sorry mom!

I always enjoyed watching relatives cook and learning new techniques. I started keeping track of some recipes that I found that I wanted to try. When my grandmother passed in 2022, I inherited her recipe box. When I opened it, I was blown away! She must have had thousands of recipes saved. She made a binder, and I kept it tucked away. I love having family recipes!

So I hope you will join me as I try, and probably fail at time, new things in the kitchen!
