I'm a retired chef of 40 plus years, now I'm a Homemaker/Caregiver to the Elders. I'm in Illinois (USA) I have a wonderful husband and I am a grandmother, and a great-grandmother that LOVES to be in my vegetable gardens. I love to cook, bake, and do my canning and freezing from my gardens. My wonderful husband and I rescue horses, we go camping, ride our motorcycle and we love going to the farmers market and antique hunting. I have a BIG collection of cookbooks, dates from mid. 1800s to 1979. I do have some new ones but it has to be in my liking. I do alot of Italian and Native American cooking a little of German and Swedish cooking but mainly it's Italian for I am Italian. I also try many recipes and create my own. I thank God every day for what He has given me and pray for what He is about to have me do tomorrow!
