About this Cook
I grew up as an Army brat, so I had to learn to cook when mom had to work and dad was out of town or flying. I joined the Army when I was 17 and met my husband. We have one beautiful daughter who loves to help mommy in the kitchen.
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking, period. I don't have any particular favorites when it comes to what I cook. Anything fast on a busy day is my favorite thing!
My favorite family cooking traditions
At Thanksgiving, my mom and two sisters always cook the dinner. The sisters have since taken over and every year, Grandma's famous stuffing is made. It always reminds us of when we were little girls, trying to learn the "secrets".
My cooking triumphs
Jambalaya. I always get that request, especially for potlucks!
My cooking tragedies
TUNA NOODLE CASSAROLE. My husband hates it, and the first year we were married, I kept making it; he kept eating it. He didn't want to hurt my feelings and tell me it was gross! What a sweetheart! I haven't made it since.

BBQ Pork for Sandwiches
This was ridiculously easy! I wish I used a different BBQ sauce. The next time I'm going to try the Sweet Baby Rays that others have suggested. I might even try some Carolina sauce next time, too!!

Cajun Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
I used whole chicken breasts with skin and bones. I find this adds more flavor to the gumbo. This gumbo did remind of my great-grandmothers and it made so very happy. Thanks for helping me get so close to my family again!!

Grandma Ople's Apple Pie
I added cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves to the apples before I put the lattice on. It gave it a nice spicy bite to the pie and it was wonderful and gooey! My husband is also very picky about his apple pie. He said "this is the best apple pie I have ever had!" I have to agree!!
