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.

WIN A KINDLE

I already have a Kindle and love it. When I go on a trip I load some books in my Kindle (there are 1000's of free downloads in addition to purchased books) and away I go. Here is a chance to win your own Kindle. It would alsomake a great Christmas gift.
