I love to cook, and it is definatly one of my hobbies. I love to watch cooking shows, read cooking magazines, and cookbooks. I love to cook southern dishes. However, I do not have much time to cook, so I look for recipes that can be prepared in the slow cooker, or pressure cooker. My real passion is baking, I love to bake cakes. I am trying to learn to cook healthier. Southtern food is SO good, but too much of a good thing will catch up with you over time. I was taught to cook buy my great aunt and grandmother. My grandmother has always prepared all of the large holiday meals. She now has Parkinson's disease, and resides in assisted living. So, she has tried to teach me know to prepare all of our family favorites, including a Stack Pie that she was alway famous for. I'll never be as good of a cook as her, but I love to learn and try to carry on the family traditons.
