I'm a Southerner with a great husband, three pets, and a big yard that I love to work in! Baking is my passion, but I love to cook, too. Writing is another love, and I have a food blog: shallwecook.blogspot.com. Come on over! Cookie recipes always draw my eye, but I also love to try new cakes. My husband loves chicken so keeping new and fresh chicken recipes is a must. My grandmother was a fabulous cook, and her grape jelly and macaroni and cheese are famous in my family. I've tried some tough from-scratch cakes that came out really well, and that made me proud!
