I'm an avid traveler and gardener, and enjoy encompassing the cultures I visit and expressing that in the food I cook! I climb, hike, bike and cave to my hearts content. Zucchini chocolate chip muffins! Lamb curried stew, squash casserole, blue cheese stuffed elk steaks & burgers, fried mustard catfish, eggplant parmesian, and my hot tamale pie. Enough cannot be said for the traditional thanksgiving dinner with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatos, sweet potato pie, collard greens, and cornbread.
