Aunt Peggy's Picks

Hi! I’m the Aunt Peggy that Paula has told you all about (sometimes so often it gets a little embarrassing.) Yes, I’ve had a hand in shaping Paula’s distinctive cooking style.

I remember a time when we put a higher value on the ability to dish up a good filling meal, especially if it didn’t cost a fortune to make. Paula has given me some space here to share some of my personal favorites from our family recipes. I hope you like them as much as she and I always have.
