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.

FIRST APPLE PIE

I am kind of proud of my first apple pie.  The outer edge was not fluted.  I made a butter and shortening crust.  Next I will try Dori Greenspan's crust.
