Coffee time with Auntie E- Let's Talk Sites

Sitting here dreaming of that cup of Joe. As soon as hubby leaves I will put a pot on. He is having a heart test today so he can have no caffeine. I know how hard it is when you smell the coffee brewing and can't have it.

I have been thinking about the Thursday's PotLuck Club. Not having any interest in it I think I will suspend the meme for now. If you are interested shoot me an e-mail and I will post one with a link that month. One will be posted on the second Thursday of the month. With a Linky only if requested

Blogging is fun for me.I Love putting the recipes online. When I am traveling to family, I have my recipes at hand. It is also great for my Dad who is learning to cook for himself. While at hubby's Family reunion, his sister stated her son was asking about Dee's Chow Chow and stating how much he loved it . He wanted the recipe. Funny thing that recipe was posting on this cookbook site the next day. So I told her we would send the link. You see this Site has been a great addition to my Bloggerville community.
Therefore I ask you these question to see how your site is doing and to get some ideas for promoting this site.
Do you have a food blog? How is your traffic? I have been working on getting more traffic. What do you use for this?

Home Cooking Healthy Recipes

When I was growing up my mother cooked Dinner every day. After school the Family sat down together and enjoyed a Home Cooked meal. The time period was the 1950s though 1960s. A time when most mothers were at home and the hustle and bustle wasn't there. I remember having what we called comfort food as well as meat and potatoes. When we moved to Rochester New York Mom like having Theme nights. It could be Italian, Mexican, or Oriental. She began to learn to cook different foods. It was mostly due to us kids,like many today, got bored with the same old thing. My Love of foods began as a kid but grew as an Adult.My travels around the States and the World enticed my taste buds. Hence my Love of International foods grew. It seem like every place we lived I took a college class to learn cooking their way.
In today's world I have had to learn to make them healthier. My Food Testing Team (My Family) has become experts food critics. Some food they request again and again. We are always having something different. If I find a new meat I will buy it and search out how to cook it. I like meals that take less than 30 minutes to make. Meal that take longer have usually a prep time of 30 minute or less. Making it still doable for dinner. Those are roast or crock-pot. This Blog is dedicated to Recipes only. I will be posting them as I develop them. There are some recipes that are from Family members who are with the Lord now. I will be posting some of them. I hope you will enjoy this blog and leave your comments on the recipes.
