I am 28 years old with 2 boys. Other than cooking I enjoy camping and fishing. If I can't be in the kitchen, I would rather be in the woodshop. I love to grill out and cook deserts. I also love to make salads. I feel that every meal needs a good salad. I've learned most everything from my mamaw. She is in her mid eighties and still loves to cook for her family. She is from southeastern Kentucky, and still cooks the same way her mother showed her. I've gotten pretty good at pulled pork. I use a 6-8lb boston butt, of course, I rub it with a homemade recipe, and then slow smoke it. I also make my own sauce, a North Carolina style. I've been told its one of the best pulled pork sandwiches that they have ever had. My black bean and corn salad is also a crowd pleaser. I also make homemade sausage and gravy almost every weekend. Both of my boys love it. The first time I tried to make sausage and gravy was a total failure, I couldn't get the sauce to thicken, so I kept putting in more flour. To say the least it was horrible. So I went to mamaw's one morning for breakfast and I watched her make hers.
