Hi everyone! My name is Deb and I am an empty nester with a not so empty nest. I share my home with my husband Jim and three dogs. Our son and daughter are off living their own lives and our pets definitely fill ours with joy!
13,000....that's a big number. It is probably the minimum amount of dinners I have cooked over the years. If you add breakfasts, lunches, desserts and Holidays, well, that's a lot of food!
Does that mean I am perfect without any fails? Ummm, noooo. Have I made my share of burnt or bad tasting recipes? Absolutely!! But, what I do have is tons of experience, a very picky, persnickety palette and an overwhelming love of creating and tweaking recipes.
And my promise to you is that all the recipes on this blog are created by me and not AI. They have been tested, sometimes trashed and then tweaked until I am proud to serve them to family and friends. My photos are all original, not AI generated. That says a lot from someone who used Polaroid or point and shoot cameras most of my adult life!
My recipes are family-friendly and picky eaters approved! I try to make my recipes with ingredients that don't come from a can or a box, using simple basic and seasonal foods. But that does not mean we have to sacrifice great flavor, or even give up our favorite treat foods.
I hope you will enjoy my recipes. I welcome feedback and would love to hear from you. Let me know what types of recipes you'd like to see. I'm always willing to try a new creation! 😊
