I am married and the mother of 6 kids. 3 boys and 3 girls. I am 35 years old and i am currently a stay at home mom. I enjoy cooking and i have been doing it for the past 20years or longer. One day i plan on opening my own soul food restaurant. My favorites are soul food. But I mostly like to bake cakes. 7-up and pound cakes are my specialty. EVERY YEAR DURING THE HOLIDAYS MY MOTHER,MYSELF AND TWO SISTERS ALL GET IN THE KITCHEN TOGETHER AND COOK. WE PUT ON MUSIC AND WE HAVE A BLAST. WE STAY UP UNTIL THE WEE HOURS IN THE MORNING SHARING STORIES AND JUST TELLING ABOUT THE OLD TIMES.(AND THE NEW ONES ALSO) ONE YEAR WHEN I DID MY FIRST THANKSGIVING WITHOUT THE HELP OF MY MOTHER. EVERYONE SAID THE FOOD WAS GOOD. When as a teenager I tried to make this cake with green food coloring and the whole thing came out a disaster. Horrible!!
