Notes: Nana used to be a champion baker who not only enjoyed cooking sweets..but eating them also.As a pre-schooler I started helping her cook sweets and, of course, eat them for our little "tea parties" which happened during my brothers'(Joey and Paul) nap time. What a great way to have time alone with my MOM! Family cooking has been a tradition in my own little family too! Keep the tradition going kids!
