About Me

Pam: I've been writing my blog since 2007 and have decided to repurpose it to showcase my cooking passion. How did a girl like me discover passion and joy in the kitchen? I suppose it all began with my mother. She made the basics for us back in the 70s - tacos, spaghetti, and boxed spice cake. We didn't go out to eat a whole lot, so I had the experience of watching mom in the kitchen doing her thing. My cooking can be described as simple Midwestern. I prefer easy recipes that don't include a lot of fancy ingredients. If I can't pronounce it, I won't cook with it. Let me introduce you to the joys of being in the kitchen without even realizing it.

Helpful Hints

Don't have sour cream on hand? Substitute an equal amount of plain yogurt instead.

When cooking breaded items in oil, allow about an inch between pieces for crispier results.

Baked tomatoes or peppers losing their shape? Try placing them in the cups of a muffin pan to bake.

Not sure if your softened butter is soft enough? If you're able to glide a table knife through it, it's ready.

Store opened coconut in a tightly closed bag in the refrigerator or freezer up to 18 months.

Good Form

Taking a gift of food to a friend's brunch? Experts agree, the host or hostess isn't obligated to serve it with the meal.

Did You Know?

Tomatoes weren't popular in the U.S. until they were added to gumbos and jambalayas in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1812.
