I love to cook, its my relaxation. I enjoy trying new dishes and putting my spin on them. My extended family loves to call and ask me for recipes to which my husband always replies when it goes over well, "my wife gave her that recipe". I am well known at any gathering as the "cake lady". Plain ol southern fare would be my favorite to cook.. cornbread hot out of the oven smothered with butter, steaming biscuits with homemade jelly, country fried steak with gravy... they all bring back memories of my childhood and so therefore are very enjoyable and always put a smile on my face. My favorite tradition is baking my children's birthday cakes every year. No matter how many times they have had it, the girls love the traditional barbie cake and the boys love spiderman.
