She loved to hunt, deer, moose and birds, she was a sure shot! She grew her vegetables and would make preserves and jams to go with her meat. The freezer was always full for winter. This woman’s cooking and baking skills were top notch !! Her home made bread was hands down the best bread anyone ever tasted !!! Along with her pies and cookies.
