My name is actually Julianna. I go by Juls, mostly though. Been known to go by Grandma, Mom, Momma, and the occasional, HEY YOU! There's a few more names I could throw in, but lets keep it g rated :)

I have 6 kids. Married. I have been cooking since I was about 3 or 4. Toast, eggs and pancakes were my first culinary creations. My Mom is a great cook. My Brother is a cook in Homer. My Great Grandparents were both Chefs and owned a restaurant in Budapest in the 1920's. Cooking is in my blood.  I am NOT professional by any means. Just a busy mom that loves to cook!

I've  had a lot of  influences, in learning how to cook.  My parents had an out of work chef that  lived with my family, for a summer, when I was 10.  She showed me a lot of great techniques.  My Friend Berta's Husband is a chef and he has given me some wonderful  advice and tips. And Of course the best cook I've even known. My Mom. 

I get asked for my recipes a lot. But most of them are in my  head. I haven't written very many down. So this is a way to preserve and share them.

Like my ever sought after Salisbury Steak Recipe, My Hungarian Goulash, and the " Best Damn Banana Bread Ever.  I didn't name it that, my Husband did..........and it stuck.

I also cant wait to hear and learn about Busy Moms cooking influences, tips and tricks and secrets you might have. I look forward to, with great anticipation, reading about you. I look forward to, drooling over the recipes, you decide im worthy enough to share with.

So please feel free to leave comments and send me exiting recipes and ideas!
