Some Ones Cooking: Pistachio Ambrosia

About Me:

I am a housewife who desires to be a great cook. I know how to cook the basics but find myself wanting to branch out and learn more. I LOVE to read cookbooks, cooking websites, and share and exchange recipes. I now have several blogs but decided I would make this one just about cooking. I would love to share recipes I have tried on here in hopes others will try and share how theirs turned out and to have others share recipes they love. I also love old recipes passed down thru the years. My main passion is baking and love to cook desserts for my husband and two teenagers. Enjoy your visit thru my cooking blog and if you have time feel free to stop by my normal blog at http://sum1ssunshine.blogspot.com/and also my other passion, Photography where my son and I share our pictures with others at http://sum1ssunshinephotos.blogspot.com
