A true G.R.I.T (girl raised in the south). Originally from Tuskegee Alabama but moved to NW Florida almost 3 years ago. I'm engaged to a wonderful man that I absolutely love to cook for..also one new addition to the family. My yorkie..She's my heart. Very easy going, down to earth and love my family and friends. Oh my..where do I start..I love to cook just about anything authentic..I am not and never have been a "box person". I pride myself on cooking from scratch and I love a good challenge. Desserts and southern cooking are my fav. HHHMMMm...not really a tradition follower. If I see something that ticklew my fancy..I'll cook it but I guess if I had to pick a holiday I would say Thanksgiving. Homemade authentic gumbo. My family almost died when they tasted my gumbo. I was so please with myself..everyone was giving me compliments and I felt like the queen of the day:) Oh my..I honestly can't say that I've had any..none to think of at least..I'll get back to you on that one.
