About Me
No profile added.
I am the editor in chief at Taste of Home, responsible for all our magazines and books and our marvelous Taste of Home Cooking Schools. I have a great staff and a wonderful audience to serve. I've been in publishing almost as long as I have been cooking! One of the coolest parts of my job is traveling around the country to promote Taste of Home on television, QVC and various events, and I thoroughly enjoy meeting our TOH fans and hearing your comments. I am married to Steve; have two beautiful daughters, Jess, 18, and Jackie, 15; two great stepkids, Rachel, 20, and Brad, 18; and one silly little princess, our Bichon-Shih tzu mix, Bobbie--beautiful until she smiles and flashes her ridiculous underbite!
My Greatest Cooking Triumph
Two years ago, I made a special Homecoming dinner for my 16-year-old daughter (at the time; she's a college freshman now) and 11 of her friends. Instead of going out to a restaurant, they each paid five dollars for prime rib, baked mashed potatoes, peas, salad, warm rolls and a beautiful chocolate bundt cake for dessert. My younger daughter and her two friends were the "waitresses." The Homecoming dancers enjoyed themselves tremendously, and I had a wonderful timing serving them.
My Biggest Kitchen Disaster
Actually it's a non-cooking incident, but many years ago I had wanted to run my dishwasher but was out of detergent. So I simply squirted some dishwashing liquid into the reservoir and turned the machine on. Within minutes, my entire floor was covered with about six inches of foam, which totally freaked the cat out (and me, too). I also learned that if you put your Thanksgiving turkey on the grill outside to keep it warm, you should make sure to take it out of the plastic roasting bag first!
My Food For Thought
Here are three, courtesy of my mother, Pat Cassidy:
-- it's the little things that count
-- don't let others form your impressions for you
-- when God closes a door, he opens a window
