Heaven on a Plate
About this Cook
Actively involved in my family. Committed to living for Jesus Christ.
My favorite things to cook
With such a challenging and demanding job I don't have time to "slave" over a stove so my favorite things to cook would be slow cooker recipes or 30-minute meals.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Our family cooking traditions is soul food. A normal weekend meal or holiday tradition would be Pork Bones, Turkey Necks, Mustard Greens with Ham Hocks, Sweet Potatoes with brown sugar and butter and two or three pans of honey butter corn muffins.
My cooking triumphs
Thanks to Allrecipes.com there have been too many to name here. This site is great and I depend on the reviews which guide me in my meal decisions.
My cooking tragedies
As with any dish, it's contigent upon your particular taste. For example, you may like lots of salt or very little, loads of garlic or a hint of garlic. With that said, it's important to taste your food as you go. I'm glad to report that the only cooking tragedy I've had was not uploading my reviews after preparing many of the meals on this site. I consider it a tragedy because my family has enjoyed some wonderful dishes from Allrecipes.com and have allowed me to bring other cultural dishes that my children absolutely love.

Creole Chitterlings (Chitlins)
Hi Nyghtsong. New Year's Day my mother always prepared Chittlins as one of the meat dishes. She went home to be with the Lord 4 years ago. I want to feel close to her and will try this recipe and let you know. Thanks for sharing as you never know who you are blessing!

Soft Oatmeal Cookies
Can't wait to try this recipe. I will add pecans for a nice crunch. Thanks Bittersweet1 for sharing your cookie recipe with the world. OMG! I made these tonight Dec. 29, 2010. I ate 4 coming out of the oven. These cookies are fantastic. Store bought cookies are now history.

Black-eyed Peas and Ham Hocks
Here are my suggestions: soak beans overnight in 2 tsp of baking soda (to remove gas from beans); cook ham hocks on high for 45 minutes using Chicken stock then add all ingredients; add onions and a pepper to spice it up. This is the way my mother cooked her black-eyed peas. One final note: prepare this with "Grandma's Buttermilk Cornbread" recipe and your guests will rant and rave. Thanks for sharing this comfort food recipe with us!
