Mom baked all our bread when I was young, as well as pies, cookies.She made all our jams, jellies and canned all she could. I started life in the mid 30's so it was needed. I learned cooking at an early age. I started my kids in the kitchen early and 2 of them took to cooking. Now, I mentor my grand daughter as she works full time and cooks and bakes for her 4.She also has them working with her at cooking and baking. I also worked as the baker in a small cafe in our town for 7 years. As I write this I see the thread of caring and cooking for our families running down through the generations. Mom used tomake heart shaped cinnamon rolls for my lunch box when I started school.The other kids tried to trade for them but I didn't trade. Loa in Iowa.
