Welcome to Time For Us To Cook. A place where I share simple and delicious everyday recipes. I have spent over the last 30 years in corporate America and decided it was time for a change.

My passion for cooking started as a little girl growing up with my grandmother. She was a true artisan of her craft of cooking. A daily morning walk to the market always yielded the freshest ingredients. During the summer months the walk was shorter as it was right out the back door to her own garden. A garden filled with a host of fresh fruits and vegetables. Her cooking was simple, delicious, and filled with love. I can’t remember a day that the house wasn’t filled with aromatic bliss. Everything in our house was made from scratch with love.

Weekends at our house were filled with family and friends all marveling at her delicious food. My mom loved to bake and explore cooking from other cultures around the world.  So needless to say food flowed like wine in our house.

As I grew up I shared the same passion to create wonderful delicious food. With my own family we continue the traditions of Sunday dinner. My two daughters got the bug as well. My youngest was in the kitchen with me since the time she was 4. Cutting, mixing, and of course sampling. She would pop out of bed at the first rustling in the kitchen to make sure she was in on all the action. She is one to be reckoned with in the kitchen. My oldest daughter shares the passion which blossomed when she went away to college. My husband shares the passion for eating. So we have a well-rounded crew.

Every Sunday we host family and friends to share good food, wine, and love. Many of my dishes you see on this site are a product of our Sunday dinners.

I invite you to try some of the recipes here to create your own delicious food and magical memories.
