The Author's Inn

My earliest childhood memories are of me in the kitchen helping my Aunt cook for our very large family. We never knew how many people we were going to have to cook for.

After my father's accident, my Aunt and Uncle took me in with my two brothers, and of course, my dad who was a paraplegic. They only had one biological child, my cousin Don. If ever family members needed a place to live, they came to our home. We had several cousins, uncles and aunts that lived with us one time or another. My aunt and uncle never complained. I remember that they would say, "We will just put another bean in the pot". They are both gone now, but I know that they have a very special place in heaven, as they gave so much of themselves here on earth.

Another person that had a large influence on me as a child is my Aunt Dorothy. She made the best biscuits on earth!!! I loved to go to her house for summer vacation. It was the best times of my childhood. I am very fortunate that she is still with us. She is more like a mother to me than an aunt. She is still a big influence in my life. Thank you Aunt Dorothy, I love you and hope that you will be so very proud of this cookbook. (I know that you will.)

All My Children Gotta Eat

I developed a love for cooking at a very early age. We had a very large family, and I was the only girl. That has always stayed with me as I am the happiest when I am in my kitchen, cooking for all the people that I love.

My children are all grown now, but still crave their Mom's cooking and call me for recipes quite often. That is my inspiration behind writing this cookbook.

My husband's Uncle, Henry Custer,  encouraged me to send my cookbook in to be published, and it happened. I am very grateful for him and I am very new to all of this, so I am asking everyone to be patient with me. I am planning on learning from you readers, so any suggestions that you may have for me, would be greatly appreciated.

Here are over 200 easy to fix recipes. I started by just writing down some recipes for my children, then I decided,"why not write a cookbook"!!! So now, I can share our favorite family recipes with the world! Watch for book #2, All My Children Gotta Eat Healthy!!

I am looking forward to hearing from all of you, authors and readers alike.
