Recipes from my family and fav books

I LOVE to cook and I especially love sweets.  It is my vice...my only vice...ok. that is not true, I have a few but none are life threatening.  I really love yummy baked things, cookies and my new addiction is cupcakes.  I have a hearty collection of cookbooks and can't wait to share some of my favorite recipes with you.  I will share my cooking adventures, good and bad and together, we might actually put together some yummy food so grab your aprons, warm up the stove and get ready to cook!  If you have a favorite recipe, please feel free to share in the comments section.  I'd love to hear from you.
