Good morning! In an effort to join a cake baking group, I am attempting to start my own blog. The name was suggested by my Beatles loving teenager and I thought it was quite clever of him. Since it was his idea, I give all credit to him in this, my very first post. Thank you Andrew.
Well there, that's out of the way. Now, a little bit about me. I am a Southern gal who loves to cook and especially bake. I had two grandmothers who taught me most everything I know about baking. Now I just use their basic recipes and add my own twist on things. This becomes quite problematic when the ADD in me forgets to write down the variations I make to the recipe. When it's the best cake I've baked in a long time, I'm not happy with myself.
Another friend, now gone from this world, taught me how to cook Southern style. Since this was years ago, we weren't so worried about fat and calories. Again, I've learned how to modify her basic ingredients to fit a healthier lifestyle. Many thanks Loraine.
Mostly I plan to cook fabulous food and share it with anyone out there who also loves to cook. Jill
