A stay-at-home mother and wife of the best husband ever. Meditteranean and Mexican cuisine and good old Southern favorites like pork chops, fried chicken, black-eyed peas and cornbread. A dinner I made for my husband and his soldier buddies: Marinated Pork Loin, Green Bean Bundles, and Sweet Potato Casserole with a Pecan Crunch Topping. Hmmm, so many! A blackened pear cake, cookies that were more salty than sweet....and a hash brown casserole with crunchy, undercooked potatoes.
