Let's start cooking

For years I've wanted to publish my own cookbook. I've been collecting old cookbooks for over 40 years. The best part of these old cookbooks is the scraps of paper you find in between the pages. Those are THE best recipes because they are usually family specials, favorites. I take the recipes and convert them into today's food choices. By that I mean, replace the lard with olive oil or canola oil, or magarine, whatever works. Or flour in a bread recipe with bread flour. Or sometimes I use organic sugar in place of 'sugar' in a recipe. It's fun and it's challenging. I Love It! I love to cook and bake, but only when I can cook large amounts. I still haven't gotten used to cooking for one. My greatest joy is cooking up a yummy meal and inviting the kids and their families to join me for dinner (or lunch). Sunday brunch is something I've always wanted to do.... that will come some day.

So this is the beginning of my cookbook. I've stepped into the modern world and decided to blog it!
Hope you all enjoy. I look forward to feedback about my recipes and I would love you all to share you favorite recipes!
