My name is Marilyn Southmayd commonly called G-Ma or Grandma Marilyn. I have collected recipes for as long as I can remember. Somewhere around this house are a bunch of clippings from magazines and newspapers, pieces of paper I wrote recipes on in pencil and pen, and anything else with a recipe on it that I collected as a child and as I grew up. I also have a good collection of cookbooks that I bought after I started working.

I love cooking new and exciting meals for me and my husband. Sometimes we will invite family or guests over for a meal also.

I have now started writing my own series of cookbooks.  You can see my first one in the sidebar to the Right.
