About me

I love to cook and bake, especially desserts and soups. I used to enter cooking contests. Won a few, Minneapolis Star and Trib- 2ce, a Better Homes and Gardens monthly one, and in 1988 I made it to the Pillsbury Bake-Off!!! Wow, that was an experience. These days I spend more time in my studio as an artist than in my kitchen cooking as there are only 2 of us and I tend to cook "big" so I have less time in the kitchen and more time with my creativity. But I still love to find new recipes to try, as I love variation in what we have. I get bored cooking the same thing over and over again. First thing I made from this site was wonderful (yes, a "make again" recipe, LOL).
