I'm 40 yrs.old & have been cooking since I was about 8 yrs.old.I love to cook southern food the most because I was raised in the south(and anyone from the south knows when you eat moma's & grandma's food you are hooked for life! I also love to try new things,that's why I came to Allrecipes! I've found some awesome recipes here & now this is the only website I use.Anything you're looking for you will find here.Happy cooking!!!! I bake & broil alot of my meats(healthier that way).But my family loves creamed potatoes with every meal,add some cornbread & a side vegetable or two & viola'! We grill out alot in the summer,nothing beats grilled chicken & of course STEAK!
