I'm from a tried & true Southern family- so I'm always been very comfortable around mashed potatoes and green beans, potroast, cornbread and the like. But when I got married, my husband challenged me with more healthy eating, so I've been experimenting with ethnic foods, as well as recipes with lots of fresh ingredients and vegetables. Anything with a lot of FLAVOR! I love cooking with herbs and spices and I usually add more than what is called for. I'm really good at baking, although I don't do it often, unless it's a special occasion or a holiday! Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, chicken pot pie, tomato basil soup, mashed potatoes, homemade biscuits, BBQ chicken pizza Doesn't everyone have some newlywed cooking stories?? I made my biscuits wrong about 4 times before I made them right- and there was the AWFUL night with the horrible chili that my husband likes to remember as "burnt-beef topping."
