As one of my best friends would say, I am GRITS (Girl Raised In The South). Not ashamed of my southern accent at all! I grew up hanging out in the kitchen. I learn to cook from my mom, grandmother & aunts. We would make yummy meals and then play cards around the kitchen table. Happily married to my best friend Brian. I am originally from TN but right now I am living in KY. Will soon be moving to another state as soon as my husband gets his new assignment. I love to try new recipes, that is why I love this site. Everything except fried foods. I cannot fry for some odd reason! Oh except eggs! I love: Speghetti & Meatballs, Mac & Cheese, Shrimp, Chocolate Pie, Christmas Sugar Cookies, Brocolli Casserole, Hashbrown Casserole, Chicken & Dumplings, Mashed Potatoes, Meatloaf, Country Ham, Cheese Biscuits, Fried Eggs, Cheese Grits, Creamed Beef on Toast, Turnip Greens, Pecan Pie, Banana Bread, & anything with lots of cheese. Every Thanksgiving weekend me and my mom make Christmas sugar cookies and freeze them so that they are ready to be iced the week of Christmas. Every time a meal turns out yummy it is a triumph for me! I have a bad habit of leaving bread in the oven too long! Also just cannot fry chicken or anything. Never works out.
