Welcome to my little local blog about food and cooking. My name is Jo and my love for cooking goes back to my childhood. I have many recipes from my Grandmothers and Great-Grandmothers. I have been blessed with several really good cooks in my family who taught me everything I know about cooking. I am not a trained chef nor have I ever worked in the restaurant industry. I am a home cook. I am dedicated to my family and love to spend time at home in my kitchen and garden. Like most of you I also work full-time at a pretty demanding job so things can get a little crazy around here.
I am a transplant to New England landing here in July 1986. My husband and I live in southeastern Connecticut and share our home with two dogs Milo & Moxie and a Maine Coon named Cosmo
Easy Does it started because I enjoy sharing my family recipes with anyone who asks and I find many people are unaware how easy it is to make food from scratch.
I support local farms and businesses when ever possible and will showcase many of them here so you can enjoy them as well.
I also like to make food gifts to say I love you or thank you to the wonderful people in my life. You will find these gift ideas and how to make them sprinkled around this website .
