A Southern Belle, always looking for great recipes. I like to grill. My two favorite things in life are air and water...in what order I can't decide.
My favorite things to cook
Healthy, low carb., low sugar and low sodium. I use natural foods, preferably organic,(when possible.) I do not use processed foods. I haunt the local farmer's markets and grow vegetables of my own. I love heirloom tomatoes. I grow herbs in containers on my patio...parsley, sage, rosemary, chives, etc. I plan to try growing garlic and ginger.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We have seafood at Christmas. We chow down on crab legs, shrimp, crawfish and all kinds of seafood dishes. It is a seafood extravaganza. We have been doing this for over ten years.
My cooking triumphs
My chicken stew. I make it by the gallon and give it to my family.
Chocolate chip cookies. I make them for the grandchildren.
My cooking tragedies
My first cake...we had to drink it, LOL. Then, there was the roasted goose that slid off the platter onto the kitchen floor. What a mess!
