This website is dedicated to our mother.
Mom has always been an amazing cook. Even with 5 children, all close within age and full of energy, she managed to cook some of the most memorable dishes. If your a family member, a friend or just a lucky someone that happened to be at her house, then you’ve experienced the miracle of mom’s home-cooked, self-taught recipes. Friends and family call her Reenie, short for Doreen. Growing up mom always cooked the best meals and treats that kept you coming back for more. We know today that even Mom herself does not fully remember every recipe she makes. She knows them by heart and if you are not watching carefully a spoon full of something went into the pot and you’ll never know what it was! Mom loves to cook and loves to entertain more. Along with her amazing food, Mom has some of the best tips and tricks for flawless presentation. From table linens to cheese trays, no one does it better than mom!

The tough part about Mom is that she’s always doing so much at once. Most of the things she does are not even for herself! So trying to get mom to write down or track her recipes has not been successful thus far.

The purpose of this website is provide an outlet for all of her kids, friends and family to post her recipes/stories of her cooking. To cherish her expertise and continue her traditions. I hope to one day present this to our children’s children just like an old recipe book!

We love you Mum!
