My mother had to go back to work when I was 14, so it became my responsibilty to cook for our large family of 8. I am now a mother of three boys and the kitchen is our family room. I love to bake with the kids. I also enjoy making Indian cuisine, homemade things that most people buy in jars and boxes like; granola bars, salad dressings, stuffing and chicken nuggets. I prefer the healthy but flavorful versions made from scratch. I'm a southern girl so I love to make fried fish and chicken, collard greens and pecan pies. Macaroni and cheeses and sweet potato casserole are two dishes I am known for. Also I have three children so anything I make that's cooked in one pot. Green eggs and ham for Easter brunch. Homemade stuffing for the holidays. Homemade biscuits and chocolate gravy for Christmas breakfast.
