Thanks for coming to my kitchen!

Most of my chef training came from the training my family has given me as I have learned to cook for some picky eaters and a couple of bottomless pits! It has been a fun journey and I want to share my experiences with you.
My daughter and I own a catering business and have cooked so many delicious things for our clients. Here I am sharing some of our best loved foods - at home and at catering events.
I like to keep things simple, using everyday food but I am a BIG fan of spice! I love hot and spicy stuff!
(Which is why I stay married to my wonderful hubby! LOL)
Try my recipes and let me know how it turns out!
And if you have a moment, check out our catering site to see what we do.

Happy Cooking!

Sour Cream Pound Cake

Here's the recipe (finally!)

1/2 pound butter (1 cup or 2 sticks)
2 1/2 to 3 cups sugar
6 eggs
3 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
Optional (for a lemon flavored cake):
1/2 tsp lemon extract
1/2 tsp lemon rind

Grease and flour a bread pan. Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Cream butter and sugar together.
Add eggs and vanilla.
Mix flour and soda. Alternate adding flour mixture and sour cream.
Add lemon extract and rind if desired.
Pour into pan.
Bake 90 minutes.

My mom got this recipe from her aunt when I was little and we have loved making it throughout the years. Now my family enjoys it and soon it will be passed down another generation. The top gets kind of crunchy and everyone fights over it. The best pound cake I have ever had!
