About me

I have been married for 57 years. I am now 86 years old but very active. We had three children, 2 boys & 1 girl. I have had extensive cooking experience throughout my life, having cooked, managed, and created menus for family, friends and restaurants. My wife and I share in preparing meals, but I am more experimental and come up with many different recipes. I am of Italian decent, and therefore am partial to Italian foods.I am also into canning of foods and each year preserving ( canning) a great variety including my own Spaghetti Sauce. I hope to share more of my recipes with all of you. Check out some of recipes here. Most recipes are original and some revised by family members. Lets exchange recipes!
