mama gayle


Before I start giving you some wonderful family recipes... you need to know how Mama Gayle became Mama Gayle!

All of my grandparents came from Germany many years ago, where they happened to settle in Nebraska.  I was born and raised on a farm 10 miles from Eustis, and was the youngest of four children.  Yes, I was probably the spoiled one in some ways, but at the age of nine I lost my mother.  It was up to me to cook and care for my father. A farmer who was out working in the fields for many hours, and trying to raise a daughter.  Cleaning, cooking, and all household chores where my responsibility.  My cooking skills started there, with my father... we had to fry everything, we had no grill (actually I do not think anyone had a grill at that time).  You would fry your eggs in the bacon fat after you fried your bacon, "oh what flavor!" That is why I love goooood food, it has to have FLAVOR!  And better than that you have to have a terrific wine to help enhance that flavor, either by cooking with it or drinking.  So pour yourself a glass and enjoy some delicious food with me...
