About me:
While growing up, I watched my mom and dad cook. I didn't really start baking and cooking much myself until I was about 24 or 25 years old. I never did realize how much I actually picked up from watching my parents make dinner, but I know it was my dad's "creativity" that passed on to me. I started off by following recipes that I would find, and learning what types of spices and foods went with others. Once I had prepared a few meals, I started adding/substituting/mixing, etc. other things with a recipe I knew, and was lucky enough to come up with some really good meals! Now, I tend to look at a new recipe, then I embellish it with different spices, etc., or add other ingredients to make it a bit more interesting. Now that I've been cooking for 20+ years, I am very comfortable just throwing things together and coming up with great tasting meals. My husband and children are not afraid when they hear that I am creating something new. I am now in my 40's; a wife, and a mother of two.

Honey-Pecan Chicken Breasts

Reviewed on Jan. 21, 2009 by tootsietoes

I made this over the weekend & we just loved it. I have been so tired of boring chicken. This was perfect. I made it just like the recipe stated & it turned out great. Will make again. Thank you for a good chicken recipe.

Slow Cooker Spicy Black-Eyed Peas

Reviewed on Jan. 4, 2009 by tootsietoes

I MADE THESE PEAS YESTERDAY. THEY WERE THE BEST. I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE CHANGE RECIPES & THEN RATE THEM. THE ONLY THING I CHANGED WAS THE AMOUNT OF LIQUID. I DID 5 CUPS OF WATER BUT SOME OF THAT WAS A CAN OF CHICKEN BROTH. USED A HAM HOCK TOO. MY HUSBAND & I ATE ALOT OF THESE WITH CHICKEN & CORN BREAD. GREAT RECIPE. I WILL MAKE THIS AGAIN. THANKS.
