I certainly hope that those of you that check my blog will find it helpful in your daily cooking. My recipes are geared to include the ingredients that most of you have in you closet or cupboard. There are many recipes out there that sound totally wonderful but my budget and food cupboard are simply not compatible with them. I need to pick and choose what is best for my family and my pocketbook. I think Wolfgang and Emeril are great but I just cannot reach their level of daily cooking because of the many ingredients that are foreign to me. I was brought up in a simple way of living and cooking. I guess you might say I am a graduate of the make-do school of cooking. Thank God for my grandmother. She was the best make-do cook that ever was. 
 
I think the reason I like Paula Dene is because of her down to earth recipes and they remind me of my grandmother’s cooking.
Until later.
