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.

Cookbook set winner

I had 39 enteries for this giveawy.  http://www.random.org/ selected number 3 as the winner.  Number 3 is Suburban Mom who said I love going through cookbooks and reading the recipes and then making them.

I have sent Suburban Mom an email and as soon as she gets back to me I will send the books. 

You may have noticed that I made a change to the blog.  In addition to posting blog reviews I am posting sweepstake and contest information.

Thank you for being loyal readers.

COOKIE MADNESS

Cookie Madness http://www.cookiemadness.net/ was the first cooking blog I ever logged onto.  It is hosted by Anna who lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, TODD, daughter EMMA, two dogs and a cat.

I met Anna at the 2006 Pillsbury Bakeoff.  Anna went on to win the Grand Prize.  I came home with a gift bag and a lot of wonderful memories.  Anna and I have become good online buddies.
