Welcome to my kitchen!

My love of cooking started when I was 11 years old. For my 12th birthday my Aunt gave me a cookbook. Breakfast has always been my favorite meal, so with that the first meal I ever made was cinnamon french toast with maple butter. It was a huge success and I have been cooking ever since. With this blog I hope to share my love of cooking by publishing recipes that I have tweeked and experimented with as well as recipes that have been in my family for centuries.
