Chocolate And More

Let me introduce myself, I'm Joan, wife of Derick, mama to CJ, Cassie and Grace. We live in a small Georgia town where everyone knows everyone. I am lucky enough to be a stay at home mom. I hold many part time jobs-chief cook, taxi service, homework checker, laundry doer, housecleaner (this one I try to avoid as much as possible), gardener (although if it can't grow without help, I'll probably kill it).

My favorite job however is baker of all yummy things!

I believe strong family values are built around food. My goal for this blog is to let you, the reader, come along for my baking adventures. It won't be fancy but it will be fun. I'll share some of my favorite tried and true recipes along with testing out new recipes. I have a cookbook collection and this is the perfect reason to try a few of those recipes out that always "looked" good but I just never got around to. You"ll meet the family ( I usually have at least one of the kids in the kitchen with me) and hopefully get a few ideas from me,. If you have great recipes, please share them. I prefer recipes with lots of sugar but will try almost anything.
