I grew up on a farm in Tennessee learning how to cook what we grew in the garden. I'm definitely a Southern girl at heart and love Southern cooking. I like to say there isn't a recipe I won't try...unless it involves beets. Ha! I love to cook anything I haven't tried before, however, my husband Travis is a fan of my poached salmon and cheese garlic grits. My mother liked to make apple pies in the fall (with a University of Tennessee football game on in the background!) and I would stand at the bowl and eat the apples as she cut them up. If UT was having a bad day, I got yelled at. If the Vols were winning, I could eat as much as I wanted. I enjoy making homemade pie crusts and tackling breads in general. I make a mighty tasty pizza dough and often have Sunday Night Pizza Nights at my house. At my last get-together a friend asked a good friend what something I had made was. His response? "Don't worry - if she made it, it's good." I. Can't. Make. Gravy. Any kind of gravy just turns out badly for me, so I'll just leave that to the people who know best - the cooks at Cracker Barrel :)
