Over the year, I added tips to already-posted recipes every time I tried something new or felt that it was completely necessary for my readers to know in additional tips that were already posted. My recipes are very detailed because I take time to include every little detail I learned making each recipe over and over again throughout the years.
Before making any recipe, I highly recommend reading the recipe and all the important notes I have throughout the whole post before you start cooking or baking. If for some reason, a recipe did not work out for you, you would want to go over the recipe again and make sure you did not miss a step. All the posted recipes had been made endless times by me personally and my family to ensure that they are fool-proof not just for me, but for everyone else as well.
Thank you for your great support in 2020 and we are looking forward to another blessed year!

Olga you’re an amazing chef. Your blog is my go-to desserts. Are you planning to post more savory foods because I was looking for more soups and meats, and the few you have are so so good. I’m confident the others you post will be just as good. Thank you for taking time sharing your family recipes with us.

Thank you for your kind words, Denise! Yes, we are planning to concentrate on savory foods this year. I have many savory recipes that I was originally planning to post in 2020, but life happened and homeschooling limited my time for blogging.
