Meet the Cook: Many times, I must come up with recipes requiring only ingredients already in my pantry. This is one of them. It's my husband's favorite meat dish.
Cooking and baking are my No. 1 hobbies. I love receiving a new cookbook and trying out all of the recipes. Last year, I was on a committee that organized a cookbook for our town's 150th anniversary celebration. It was a pleasure finding recipes other women could use for their families.
I'm a teacher by trade...and I'm a homemaker by heart! My family - we have a grown son and daughters 20 and 15 - is my most valuable "possession".
