My inspiration
I’ve been cooking and baking my entire life. One item I simply HAD to master was biscuits because the aroma of well-made biscuits takes me back to Great-grandmother’s house. My Gramma Frances made THE BEST biscuits and I regret not asking her to teach me how to cook while she was alive (she passed away when I was 10 years old).
Nearly 60 years later, I’ve never forgotten how she made me feel.
I still remember my Gramma’s voice, her kitchen and how it was filled with natural light; the gingham apron she wore and her Formica table. My Gramma was also a seamstress and quilter, which sparked another passion of mine…quilting.
For me, few things invoke love, safety and comfort like my memories of my Gramma Frances. She was my nurturer. When I was very young and thought about the woman I wanted to be, the Mother I wanted to be - Gramma Frances has always been there, as my guardian angel. I want to make her proud. It took a LONG time, to make proper biscuits from scratch, LOL, but I think she would be pleased…finally. LOL If we ever meet, I'll happily bake a pan of biscuits for you. For now, take a look at the cookies and granola available and share the love of freshly baked cookies and granola. I hope they invoke beautiful memories for you.
With genuine appreciation,

Last week I was notified that a wonderful gift was coming my way. Chubb (my insurance carrier) committed to purchasing gift cards from its food service policy holders, to support first responders/essential workers. My Broker, Julia, selected me to be one of the recipients of this generous gift. Julia, and I will each select 20 organizations that will receive the e-cards.
I will post the recipients soon.
Be well,
Tonya A/Grammy
