Welcome!

This site is currently under construction as I add the hundreds of recipes in my personal collection. I'm starting with desserts because, well, they're my favorite! These are the best recipes I've come across in the 15 plus years that I've been actively cooking and baking. I've collected them from people all over the country/world, and I've given credit to the folks I've taken these recipes from whenever possible. Please be courteous and do likewise. Many of these recipes are my own personal twists on cookbook classics, and I'd like to preserve my intellectual property.

*When my grandma was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I spent several months visiting her and spending as much time as possible with her. I asked her for some of her recipes, so I could have them always. This is one of the ones she passed down to me.
