Cecelia Symons

    My name is Cecelia Symons, and I am a 52-year-old homemaker. I started cooking for a family over thirty-five years ago. My mother was born in 1920 and past on to me many of the oddities of the generation. I leaned to make bread and cakes from scratch, from her. I also picked up some odd ideas on what things to save from her, like recycling glass, plastic and aluminum. Don’t get me wrong, I love her very much, and I believe she was a good cook. I learned the basics of old fashion home cooking from her, and the 4H’s basic cooking skills program from the late 1960’s.

    I have prepared meals for families of; two adults, up to two adults and four children, to three adults and four teens, to feeding four adult (one of wish is pregnant) and now cooking to two adults and two dogs. I don’t think I am a great gourmet’ chef, but I am a good home cook. I make up lots of good basic home cooked meals. And wanted to share some of these meals, with some of the young women out there, and other folks out there, getting back to cooking at home. This is the information and family skills I wanted to pass on to my daughters, but I then didn’t have any girls to sure it with; I want to pass these skills, recipes and information on to my four nieces and my daughter-in-law.

    Home cooked meals can be very tasty, fun to prepare, nutritious and money saving too. You can easily reduce salt, sugar and fat intake, and still have great tasting meals. You can make everything from scratch, everything bought at the store for very little preparation, or somewhere in between. I have prepared meals in all of these ways.

    My husband is allergic to avocados so I have found creative ways to avoid putting avocados in anything, including food that would normally have them. Like the big game day multi-layer bean dip.
