Christmas Day, 2024

My mother in 1953,
the summer before her
December wedding.

Hi folks! This blog is all about cooking, but it was founded by all the recipes I discovered in my parents' house after my mother died from a rare cancer in June of 2014. I started a Facebook page where I photographed her recipe cards and gave some backstory to the images. But, as I began to learn more about how she ate and what she fed to her children, I became more involved in my own food discoveries.

So this blog is not only about my mother's recipes, but a conglomerate of her 20th-century lifestyle and my current lifestyle at age 70. It's taken a lifetime to learn my body, and that's a long story. I'm still experimenting, mainly with an anti-inflammatory meal plan, but with added healthy fats and calcium.

I hope this site also will provide you with new information about the foods you might consume. There are so many exciting new food sites and cookbooks available, all filled with non-traditional menus and one-pan meals that contain all then nutrition you might need for an entire day. And, those meals are fast and easy to make for the most part.

Just consider this site a curiosity for the time being. NOTE: My mother was not "Miss Myrtle Beach". That was a photo prop for tourists, and she was nothing if not a tourist at heart.
