About Me

My photo
Cleveland, Ohio, United States
I am a retired teacher with time on my hands. I love to cook and bake. For the past eight years my hobby has been entering recipe contests. I have done very well and have been to several cook/bake offs although I have never won a grand prize. The ititials of my blog CCC are the same as the site where I get contest information, Cooking Contest Central (CCC). While there are 1000's of food blogs that post recipes this blog will review other cooking blogs.

If I win I'll buy a 54 inch plastic Sjambok as a dog whip, as too many people keep dogs off leash as I go hiking. The Sjambok is allso good at pushing rattle snakes aside.
