My kitchen has become the hub of many a family gathering - filling the house with aromas enough to tempt even the fussiest eater. I come from a long line of great cooks and - over the years - have mastered some of the finest down home cooking around. 

While I am an avid promoter of healthy eating, some things just can’t be changed. So, for those moments when I long for that something really special, I pull out my collection of family heritage recipes and indulge. I firmly believe that if I am going to indulge my cravings, it might as well be something worth the calories.

I am never disappointed. I actually compiled a cookbook over the past year and filled it with my favorites - even going so far as to do step by step pictures on making bread and the best pie crust around so others could enjoy these incredible recipes.

Looking at the finished product, it is quite apparent that breads, pies, and main meals come out on top. Yes, some of them - could it be the pies??? - are not a great advertisement for healthy eating - but you won’t fine a tastier treat. Just don’t eat them every day!
