Hello, my name is Polly Hartvigson, and I am an addict… a food addict. Not just any food, but delicious, tasty, homemade, nutritious, and creative food. I come by it honestly; both of my parents were excellent cooks and passed that love on to me.
I married a poor boy and raised eight starving children, which meant creative, budget-friendly cooking became a way of life. For over 40 years, I've practiced turning simple ingredients into nourishing, flavorful meals. Today, I want to encourage others to cook at home, saving time and money, enjoying better nutrition, savoring delicious flavors, and rediscovering the joy of cooking.
I have lived in the San Jacinto Valley for 34 years, during which time I homeschooled our eight children. My husband and I live on five acres, where we have organically gardened and raised chickens, turkeys, geese, goats (making my own cheese and yogurt), cows, pigs, and now, grandchildren! When I'm not in the kitchen, I spend most of my day painting, which is my second great love.
