WOW! I never thought...

I really never imagined that I would be the creator of  a blog.  Until recently, I wasn't even sure what a blog was!  For a while I have noticed that my daughter's friends don't know a lot about cooking.  I thought that if I could pass on some of what I know and have learned over the years, that it might be helpful to others who really do want to know.  Originally I thought about a very relaxed cooking-type class at my home.  But, just the other day (I swear it was that recent!) it occurred to me that people just don't have time to commit to something like that.  And for my schedule, too---it just makes more sense to try to teach things that I think that people would like to know, here, in a blog.  Be patient with me as I try this out.  It may fail miserably but I am optimistic that I'll "get it" and be able to figure out the practical ways that this will work. 
I really want to focus on basic cooking or kitchen (and even home-type) tasks.  My grandmother taught me so much as a child.  And my mother taught me even more about cooking. But both of us have been guilty of not writing recipes and how-to's down.  This blog will force me to start measuring and making notes so I can pass information on to you!
I am always open to suggestions or ideas about things you'd like to know how to do.  If I don't know the answer, I will always try to find out. 
If you are someone that knows me and you'd like to know a recipe that you have had, please ask me so that I can post my instructions here.  I would love to share!  I have a huge amount of easy recipes.  Easy to make and a lot of times with ingredients that you already have, but recipes that are sure to impress your friends and family. 
I hope you will follow on this journey with me.....come on!  It'll be fun!
