Where it all began

I've loved cooking since I was quite young. I would run home at lunch hour in grade 4 and cook up my own lunch, which usually consisted of fried mushrooms in lots of yummy butter. I know weird right? But that's where it all began. I started cooking classes in grade 7. My teacher Mrs Wilde was a great teacher. We always started off with the basics, muffins, cookies things like that. I used a red binder to put all my recipes in that I learned from school and I still have that red binder today with more recipes jammed inside of it. I would make bigger meals as I grew up and of course make the sweet stuff too at the delight of my family.Now I am married with two children and I hope that I can help teach them about cooking and share some of the things I know with them.  My husband had said a few times he would like to create a program to put all my recipes in, but he's a busy man.  It then dawned on me that a blog would be a great place to put the recipes I love. Then I could just print off a book at the end of the year, or whenever. I could pass it down to my daughter so she could have them.

The one thing I wish I could do is just look in the fridge and grab a bunch of stuff and see how it goes. I always have to have a recipe in front of me.  I might change a thing or two about it but I always have to have something to go by.  So most of the recipes I post in here are not my creations. But I guess that's what others tend to do too is tweak what someone else has done and call it their own. Either way I am very grateful for the talents of others when it comes to cooking and of course sharing that talent with me.

I hope you enjoy the recipes!
