I love to create yummy and beautiful food!

I am very passionate about good food. I love to bake and create delicious things to share. I have to say that I get bored cooking dinner for my family, but party foods are the BEST. Appetizers, dips, desserts, fresh breads, salads, and my favorite....... COOKIES!!

We have so many tasty recipes in our FAMILY (thanks to my MOM who is a fabulous cook) I would like to compile a RECIPE BOOK for posterity and anyone else who loves good food.

Mint Chocolate Brownies

The greatest of all our human concepts is the immortality of the personality and the eternal glory of the human soul. Throughout eternity you will be yourself and I will be myself, with quickened senses amplified powers of perception, and vastly increased capacity for reason, understanding, love, and happiness, all of which are qualities we may develop now. Our machines wear out, our barns fall down, and our substance goes back to the dust, but our finest collection of personal qualities will have eternal life.

The Greatest Chocolate Chip Cookie EVER!

Garlic and Crushed Pepper Breadsticks

Salsa!

Fresh salsa is my favorite! There is no better way to have fresh vegetables, and my kids will eat it too! I can hide, onions, cucumbers, peppers, or whatever and my kids never make a fuss. Try it!
