I am a Mom of 3 who loves to cook good, wholesome delicious food. I raise my own chickens and eggs, have local meats available and freeze and can as much as I can every summer. NOTHING tastes as good as fresh, local foods- the flavor is unbeatable. Hot and Spicy- hence my user name. I love to cook indian, mexican, thai, and anything seafood. My chili has won top 3 a local chili cookoff The kids are learning to like the hot foods too. I cook 50 gallons of soup and 200 lbs of pulled pork every year as a fundraiser for the kids school. The school has a booth at a local festival and we make over $5000 in one day. Almost all my recipes are from AllRecipes and I am complimented all day on the delicious food Too many to count. I owned a terrible old stove for way too long. I always thought I was a terrible baker UNTIL I got my dual fuel 8 burner double convection range. I blame all my tragedies on equipment failure!
