Grammie’s Cottage Kitchen
After thirty-nine-plus years of marriage, kids raised, and a bunch of messy-good life together, a significant portion of our fondest memories have been gathered around a table of great food. Here at Grammie’s Cottage Kitchen, we’ve usually got something wondrous cooking, and that something ought to be shared! Teaming my love of delighting groups of people with delicious food, together with Stache, who considers himself a bona fide “Foodie,” we have a planner full of recipes ready to do just that – share! Naturally, you’re invited! So, grab your apron and join me in the kitchen. We’ll cook up something fabulous together, I’m sure!

Many Christmas breakfasts ago, I crafted a Frittata by chance –an uncomplicated combination of eggs, cheese, veggies, and bacon -and we called them ‘Christmas Eggs.’

How To Prep A Pantry
Because I found myself caught on the fringe of anxious hoarding back in the Y2K saga, I am super cautious with bulk purchases.
