I'm a born and bred Southern woman who loves to cook. I'm happily married to a retired professional chef, though he does very little cooking unless it involves a grill. I love to entertain and feed a crowd. I love to cook meals that make people happy. Home cooking is my forte, and I love to try new things. I entertain a great deal, and I absolutely love to bake. Unfortunately, I'm a family tradition of one. But my mother in law shares my love of entertaining and cooking, and we've built many traditions together, building a very strong, loving relationship that I cherish. Any meal that brings 'em back for seconds is a triumph! But when I finally manage to learn to make bread and fudge and have them come out right, I promise to let the world know. So, so very many. *smiles* But the lumpy inedible bread and the soft, eat-with-a-spoon fudge have been regularly repeated errors that keep my family entertained.
