Karen Schmidt

Cooking with Karen is a collection of recipes passed down from my family, friends and my favorite cookbooks. Cooking gives me a purpose. It's a constant in the chaos. We all need nourishment and sustenance (fun word ). I enjoy every step of cooking, from making the list, doing the shopping, and loading up the fridge and pantry. My life is blessed with large amounts of family and friends and the best of cooking is the time spent and the memories created, past and future that exist in cooking that comes from the heart and given to those you love.
