As a cook, I find my happy place while preparing homestyle, comfort food.  Soups from scratch, sauces that simmer all day, and homemade Salisbury Steak with real gravy just about make me swoon.  You won’t find much fancy flair in my humble kitchen.  You won’t have to question which piece of cutlery you should use while dining in my home.  You won’t be left looking at your meal and asking, “What is that, and how do I go about eating it?”   I find comfort in the simplicity of food.

Loaded Potato Salad for a Crowd

It is hard to believe that we are in the last few weeks of summer.  Where did the time go?

Before I exchange the carefree days of summer for the more structured school days ahead, I am looking forward to a few more rounds of mini golf with the kids, some water gun fights in the yard, and as many outside get togethers as we can fit in!
