All I have ever wanted was to be a good Wife and Mother. I am married and have 2 beautiful girls age 20 and 23 who are my very heartbeat. I love animals, flowers,beans and cornbread and cherry limeade with extra cherries. I have 3 Labs...a chocolate, black and yellow, 1 cat and a Maltese that I love as much as my children. I live in the country and spend most of my time in my kitchen and (when the weather is nice) working in my gardens. My greatest pleasures are bringing things to life and watching them grow,wether its a seed, a human, an animal or food. I enjoy watching it become all that God created it to become. Since I am from the South, I guess my favorite food would be Southern. The one thing I can NEVER turn down would be a bowl of pinto beans flavored with ham hocks and a pan of hot buttered cornbread!! Im getting hungry just thinking about it!! But I LOVE trying new recipes of all different kinds. I will try anything once. I love cooking for crowds and dinner parties. There is just something so fulfilling for me to see someone enjoy what I have cooked. Its my way of saying "I love you". No matter how silly it may sound, I think one of my most important purposes in this life is to cook for my family.And I always do it with happiness and love.
