I love to cook, but I only really have time to try new, fancier recipes on the weekends, since I work full time and am a part time student at night. I like to cook anything with southern origins. My mom is the best southern cook, and I want to raid her recipe collection! I get special gratification from making something that is not only delicious, but also good for you. Anything my mom makes is my favorite food. I have started helping her with holiday meals when I go back to South Carolina. I make a mean lasagna. I also have perfected a pulled pork sandwich recipe with mustard based barbeque. Let's just say, you probably should be very careful when buying fish from a supermarket when you live in the mid-west!
