Did you know that I wrote my very own cookbook? Well I did back in 2012 and it contains over 180 of my original family favorite recipes. You know, the ones I've made over and over again, recipes passed down and some of my earlier experiments.
Every once in a while I'll share a recipe here on the blog from the cookbook just because, well to be honest, though the recipes in the book are OUTSTANDING, my photography skills at the time were not as impressive. Here is a little blurb about the book and yes, it was published so you can purchase it online at your favorite retailer or buy a copy through me and I'll sign it for you and everything. It makes a great gift; especially for those beginning cooks in your life. ~Enjoy!
