Hello, and welcome to my kitchen. I am so happy to share what I most love doing—preparing great meals and EATING!

My philosophy on cooking is simple: Create and enjoy great, inexpensive meals that are easy to prepare. Before my head could even touch the top of the stove, my grandmother taught me to "stretch my food." In other words, she taught me to use what was left over from a meal. She seemed to have the magic touch, expanding her meals into two or three extra dinners.

Preparing a home-cooked meal for your family or friends is a healthier, more appreciated and satisfying endeavor than ordering takeout, defrosting prepackaged food or going out for a quick bite…and it's more affordable! All you need is a well-stocked pantry and a little imagination. That's where I come in.

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to sit at the table with those I love and enjoy a meal I've prepared. It's like serving a big bowl of love.

I'm so happy to be able to share all these recipes with you. Thank you for joining me.

Enjoy!
