The name Betty Crocker has been in our household since I can remember. My memories are of a red-and-white three-ring book with Betty Crocker written on the front. Some of the pages still have small spatters of cake batter and cookie dough on them. The Lemon Meringue Pie recipe holds three generations of very special memories, particularly for my mother. My great grandmother made this recipe for very special occasions, and my mother was allowed to do the measuring and make the meringue. It was a great lesson.
Cooking has been a part of my life since I can remember. As I matured I began to wonder if my friends and family enjoyed my dishes so much, others could also. So with that in mind, Grandma's Skillet Catering Services came to fruition. Family tradition is baked into each delectable dish I prepare. This is my way of continuing to share family traditions and values with the community. My most recent project is collecting family recipes and incorporating them into a fun-filled cookbook.
Grandma's Skillet is a community-based business, and each year we will be donating two events to assist in supporting preferably a youth program. In addition, Grandma's Skillet has formed a positive and productive relationship with the Hubert H. Humphrey Job Corp Culinary program. This program allows me to give young people the opportunity to get work experience in a minority-owned catering business. It gives them the opportunity to learn how to make typically ethnic dishes.
