Hi there and big warm welcome to you. I am Mrs. V and in the picture with me is my husband Mr. V. Between the two of us we have a total of 5 kids and 7 grandkids and many beautiful nieces and nephews. We are celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary October 11, 2011.
I love to cook and especially bake. This past year I fell in love with making my own homemade jams, preserves and other canning goodies and thought it would be fun to start blogging about recipes I've either created or have tested from someone else along with daily life goings-on too.
I cook in many different ways, from scratch, semi-scratch and GASP ya sometimes I get lazy and dinner might come out of a box and jazzed up with my own ideas. I just love to be in the kitchen, to me it's the heart of my home.
I love it when the kids (all grown now) are either coming over and raiding my pantry for jam or in hopes of home baked cookies on the table (there usually is) or even when my middle step daughter calls me from Hawaii begging for a care package. Now, why is it you can tell your kids "I'll give you the recipe" and they don't want it, they want YOU to make it? Oh well, keeps me busy and shhhh don't tell them, but I love it!
I hope you enjoy your stay at my kitchen table and please drop me a comment from time to time. See you 'round the table real soon.
