I WAS BORN IN OHIO , I WAS BROUGHT UP TO COOK THREE MEALS . THAT IS WHY I LIKE TO COOK, JUST DOWN HOME MEALS. I WORK SO DON'T GET TO COOK AS MUCH. WE LIVED IN FL.AND HAD NO FAMILY , SO WE MOVED TO N.C.AND I AM COOKING A LOT MORE. I LIKE TO DO CAKES SOME PIES AND COOK WITH BEEF & CHICKEN & PORK I AM A THIRTY MIN. MEAL USE SLOW COOKERS. BISCUTS & GRAVY MEAT & POTATOES LEMON PIE & STRAWBERRY & RUBAR PIE FRIED APPLE PIES, I CAN TO QUICK MEALS .I DID COOK A LOT AT XMAS, GOT AWAY FROM THAT. NOW THAT I AM CLOSER TO FAMILY I CAN DO MORE AT XMAS. I FIXED A TURKEY AND IT SOMEHOW RAN OVER IN THE STOVE WHAT A MESS.
