Welcome to my food blog.

My name is Diane and I am a wife, mother of two and grandmother of three wonderful grandchildren.

I have been cooking my entire life. Cooking and teaching others how to cook is my passion! I want to show you how easy it is to prepare and cook delicious food.

I also love gadgets, small appliances and cast iron.

I will show you how to make things you never even thought of making with easy step by step directions.

My hope is to give you cooking inspiration.

I welcome questions and comments.

Thank you for visiting my site.

  4. Good morning, for some reason a comment you made on Nov. 18th (!) “Are you Goal Minded or Wandering Aimlessly?” never showed up on my notification page. I never discovered it until this morning when I was responding to another’s comment. I’m so sorry, I ALWAYS reply to a comment and pray you didn’t think I didn’t care. Thank you so much and for checking out the Redwoods. I appreciate you, ❤ (If it happens again, there must be a glitch and please let me know – hope it hasn't happened other times.) Blessings back,

  11. Enjoyed looking around your blog. Like the way you present the different foods and delicacies. Since English is not my native language, when I do look for a recipe, it’s usually in my own language. I used to like very much to cook and bake, but I’ve gotten lazy about such things, and often just prepare things I know without the use of a recipe at all. Fortunately, I have friends who provide additional color to my diet… though I think my enthusiasm for food has grown weak. What I still love as much as ever is bread. I make an old fashioned rye bread about twice a week, and make them small so they won’t last too long because I like bread fresh.

    • I had somebody ask me about using cast iron on a glass top. I do not have a glass top but from what I have read, as long as you don’t slide them it’s ok. My pans are pretty smooth on the bottom so I wouldn’tn think they would scratch. I, too, love cooking in cast iron. Thank you so much Linda!
