I am a mom of one 3 year old girl who also works full-time. I love to make soups, pasta and desserts. Also, nothing beats a good cocktail when you need it. We always have black eyed peas for luck and collard greens for money on New Year's Day. Cooking food my family enjoys on a regular basis. For some reason, the favorites in my household are my mac and cheese and rice and beans. My favorite quick dish is orzo with spinach. It's so quick, versatile and has many of the vitamins and nutrients needed by the body. Southern-style fried chicken. But I'll work on it this year.
