Auntie May's Kitchen
I have been cooking since I could stand on a stool in my mom's kitchen; however, it wasn't until recently that I started experimenting out of my comfort zone. I started baking bread using sourdough starter. The image on the counter is fake; I still can't make a perfect loaf in my Dutch oven, but I sure can bake all kinds of goodies using the starter!
And what goes so well with bread? SOUP! That is why my crockpot is one of my favorite kitchen tools.
When I put together my own meals and bake my own bread, I not only know exactly what I'm eating, but I can make adjustments to suit my needs. And the best part ... I save money!
Auntie May's Library
Like most kids, I listened to stories read to me at bedtime and progressed to reading on my own. By the time I was nine years old, I was reading full length adult novels because there weren't many juvenile books around that were long enough to hold my attention. Young Adult Fiction wasn't a genre yet, so I read anything I could get my hands on. This included many things I probably shouldn't have been reading, but it helped shape me as a reader and writer.
Over time, I started writing my own stories. My poetry was deplorable, but I figured out that middle school kids liked what I wrote, so I started incorporating them into my teaching. The part that pushed me to share these stories outside of class was when I had one of my students say, "You need to write more stories for kids like us. It's not hard to read, and I don't want it to end. Can you write a sequel to this? I need to know what happens next."

Hello! I'm so glad you decided to take a moment to check out my page.Â
The first part, Auntie May's Kitchen, contains recipes with original ingredients and substitutions, cost breakdown, and quick tips and notes. This is not meant to be a recipe blog or website. The information I provide directly covers how and what I cook. I use these recipes to show how I save money and stock up items in the freezer for easy access during busier days. In addition, as a diabetic of 45+ years, I alter recipes to suit my needs. This is not a nutrition course, nor am I providing any advice (I'm not a doctor). Many of my recipes change each time I prepare them; however, the general idea remains the same. The exception: bread! Additions might change, but it really is a science, so plan on making your own adjustments until you find the perfect combinations.
The second part, Auntie May's Library, is a work in progress. I plan to include short stories for young adults in grades 7-12. Once completed, I will provide an audio recording for those who prefer to listen along while reading a text. For parents, I will also create a mini lesson that you can use with your child to assist them with reading comprehension, vocabulary, and identifying literary elements and devices. I will update this section once I have included three stories.
