Welcome to My Mother's Recipes and More!

My mother was a hard working career-driven woman who had compassion and empathy for all those she met. As a prominent member of our church, my mother would go to every service in order to interpret the mass for the deaf parishioners. She was also a teacher at the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind and was beloved by all of her students and faculty; however, above all else, she had a passion for cooking.

I remember waking up in the middle of the night to the smell of baking breads, cakes, cookies and all other manners of food. She loved to cook with all of her heart and left behind, as her legacy, every recipe she had ever created.

Being born and raised in Michigan but moving to Virginia for the last thirty years of her life, her recipes are a blend of wholesome northern fare and down home southern cooking. I hope you enjoy.

As any great chef will tell you, cooking isn't just about measurements and ingredients. It is about the passion and love for combining wonderful mouth-watering flavors into one creation in order to serve your family, friends, or customers the most delicious food they have ever tasted. Once you feel the art of cooking within you, you will never be the same. You will know what it is like to hear those who are privileged enough to taste your culinary designs and creations moan while having a mouth full of whatever delicacy you have engineered.

The pages within this site are dedicated to those who love the art of cooking. They are dedicated to those people who spend their lives experimenting with different styles and methods of cooking. Most of all these pages are dedicated to my mother, Connie Elizabeth Roe, whose endless love for the art of cooking literally kept her up all hours of the night, experimenting with different flavors and then subsequently recording them all so that her creations would never be forgotten.


Thank You Dearly for Your Patronage.

We all tend to get tired of drinking the same old things all the time.
