Welcome to Ovenland

It begins with baking. For me, it is not always the process of creating something delicious that is satisfying, but watching my friends and loved ones devour my pies, cookies and desserts with pleasure that gives me the real satisfaction.  I have to credit my parents for never buying me that “Easy Bake Oven” I always wanted (and kind of still do)…and “forcing” me to use the real thing.  And I can’t forget my Nana…who has shown me the way to the perfect pie crust, and it is…well…perfect.

But maybe, just maybe, this is all because I really just love food? I will cook you just about anything.  Throw it in the slow cooker, make a casserole, and whip up a quiche, stir fry, fajitas, pasta, or salad. YOU NAME IT. Most of my recipes are inspired by the years I spent watching my fabulous father (and webmaster) throw together gourmet meals on the fly. His bagels are famous with our family and friends, and I will surely include them here at some point!  So in addition to baked goods, I plan to feature my favorite meals (that do not include post-sugar-binge comas), because, let’s face it, I can’t bake everyday.  OR CAN I?

Family and friends BEWARE. Warn your waistlines. Butter and sugar ahead.
