Hi! My name is Corrina. I'm a wife - married 13 years - and mom to two little girls ages 6 and 4.  I'm also a 5th grade teacher.

Basically - I'm probably a lot like you - juggling a lot of roles and trying to get reasonably healthy meals on the table for my family.

What I am not is a professional cook, chef, or baker. Rachael Ray's "30 minute meals" take me closer to an hour because I have no knife skills and need to stare intently at the recipe every few minutes as if I were constructing a rocket.

I long to be a multitasking cooking diva like Nigella, Ina, Rachael, Sunny, or Giada but I'm nowhere near there yet. However, I am very lucky to have many original hand-written recipes from my ancestors that have been handed down to me.  I also have many friends and family who are incredible cooks and bakers who have shared their recipes with me - especially my Mom, my sister-in-law, my aunts, and lots of teacher friends.  :-)

This blog is a place for me to digitally file my tried-and-true recipes so I can get to them anywhere. (Like when I'm at Wegmans and can't remember the ingredients I need to make Bon Bon Cookies.)  It's also meant to be a place where I can connect with others and share recipes with those who'd like to try them.

If you'd like to contact me, my e-mail is callen610@yahoo.com.  I'd love to hear from you!
