I was brought up in a typical suburban family. I was the only girl in a family with three brothers. My parents always made sure we had lots of food on the table and could easily make room for friends or relatives that stopped by. I started baking in the summers, where we had a cottage in Lexington, MI. My brothers were my guinea pigs! I now love having parties at our home, baking and cooking for family and friends. My boys tease me about the fact that I make "Comfort Food", but I feel a meal around the table is a "Comfort" in our lives.
