I'm a mommy/graduate student. I love to cook and especially enjoy finding old recipe books at yardsales-especially those with handwritten recipes. My roots are in the south so I am partial to southern-style recipes and old fashioned desserts.
My favorite things to cook
Anything chocolate *grin* and chicken dishes. I'm a big fan of salads and dishes utilizing old recipes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We always gather for a *bean feed* on January 1st. My Mom does a pot of beans, spinach and hush puppies-yum!
Making and canning apple butter is something we love too.
My cooking triumphs
I do a mean corn casserole that everyone loves.
My cooking tragedies
It's not uncommon for me to add two tablespoons of something I should have added two teaspoons of...so there you have it...lol.
