While growing up, I have spent countless hours watching my mother prepare meals. Whether it be for our family of four, or for more elaborate occasions which included preparation for 5-12 people. My mother stayed at home with us while Dad worked outside the home. She has a knack of knowing which spices goes with which foods for which seasons.

I cannot cook or bake as well as my mother, however she has instilled in me a love of cooking and baking. I am one of those ladies who borrows and pen and paper to copy a recipe down in a Dr.'s office or while waiting for my car to be fixed. Once the internet opened up to me, and I found a large number of sites, I couldn't be stopped.

Over the years, I have accumulated literally thousands of recipes. Some are hand written, others are from magazines and the largest portion of recipes have been printed right from the computer. As well as my mother's cooking, I had the benefit of my grandmother's cooking as well. She was Hungarian, and let me tell you, I have eaten a lot of wonderful food growing up !!!

This site is in part, an accumulation of my life. I cannot say where each and every recipe came from and I do NOT claim them to be my own. I did however, point out if my mother or grandmother used a particular recipe.

If I can state from where I found the recipe, I will. If I cannot state where I found the recipe, I will catagorize it as unknown. This site is a hobby for me. It is a place for me to store my recipies where I can access them easily. I hope these recipes bring back some wonderful memories for others who share the same love of food as I do.

If you have suggestions or corrections please email me.
