About Me
First and foremost, I LOVE to cook! When I got married, I didn’t know how to cook anything but chocolate chip cookies. I learned along the way and everyone always raves over my cooking so I must be doing something right 
This blog will just be about regular day to day cooking. If you are looking for gourmet, you won’t find it here. If you are looking for pretentious food, you won’t find it here. What you will find is a foodie that loves to cook and the recipes that I make every day for my family.
Few of these recipes on my blog are original. If I have the source, I state it. I am not claiming that any of these are mine when they are not. With that out of the way…
My DH is retired military so we have moved a bit and I learned to cook whatever, wherever. We have two adult kids who still come for my cooking.
I am honored to be a Forum Host at Recipezaar ~ I have been one for several years ~ which is why you will only see links to recipes from there ~ unless it is one that I have personally posted. My screen name is Lvs2Cook and I have around 800 some recipes posted over there ~ some I will be posting here and some I won’t be. I hope you’ll visit me there.
Last year we had our kitchen redone and now I have the kitchen of my dreams. Everyday I walk in there and think that it looks like a magazine. Here are some pictures:
I spend lots of time in there as you can imagine. The pictures are all cut off on the right side so when I resize them, I will repost them ~ but you get the idea for now.
I also collect cookbooks (see my other blog on community cookbooks, www.nancycg56.wordpress.com) and at last count have around 1200. I don’t count them anymore, LOL.
I will be adding pictures to posts as I go along and I hope you will enjoy the recipes I post ~ I have TONS of them, LOL! I will also be posting menus of parties and events we host ~ with the recipes or links to the recipes.
Please let me know what you think ~ my email is nancycg56 at yahoo dot com.

Nancy, I love your kitchen! I remodeled mine over 8 years ago with granite and finally all stainless steal appliances. I made my husband pipe in gas so I could have a gas stove and spend a majority of my time in the kitchen too. We put up the new cabinets ourselves and it does look like a professional job. The granite is wonderful for rolling out doughs, it has held up so nicely.
Your roll recipe is absolutely the best I have ever had. I’m just now getting into baking with the bread machine and producing wonderful loaves of bread, cinnamon rolls, etc. BTW if anybody wants that recipe, it is better than Cinnabons

Hi Nancy, Your blog is wonderful. I have added you to my “blogs of note” at http://www.Recipegirl.com/blog, but I have you in an ‘unknown location’ category. (I have them arranged geographically). If you would like to be moved to your appropriate geographical location (by state or country outside of US), please contact me to let me know! Thanks

How neat! You really have great taste!!! I had my kitchen remodeled last year and you and I have the same granite countertops. But, I have Italian Creme-colored cabinets and chocolate brown walls. My oven is also a convection and so is my microwave. Isn’t it wonderful to have plenty of room to cook. I love to cook also, but I have a problem with having to wait on special holidays for something to come out of the oven in order to get something else in. Now I can do regular baking and convection at the same time. And, isn’t the hardwood wonderful!!!!!!!

hi nancy! omg, i can sleep in your kitchen. i just had mine renovated recently, too, but it doesn’t come close to yours – especially when we’re comparing size! luckily my husband helps around the kitchen, too, and also wants to entertain while in the kitchen. i think every wife who loves to cook should be rewarded with their dream kuchen. long live the foodies!!!

We are a very very small company Country Bobs INc. and we make a Great Sauce ” Country Bobs All Purpose Sauce”. Some told me that I should contact bloggers to see if they would try Country Bobs and blog about it. Please email me your name and address and I would like to send you two bottles with a recipe brochure to try and blog. Thanks for your time and consideration and any advice you can give me!
