I'm married with 1 child and 2 Mini Dachsunds. I love to take a recipe and make it my own. I also like to just go in and experiment with different food products/ Love to cook "Alabamian" and experiment. Hate to fry anything and cooking with gas. Made up a great recipe for a chicken glaze and an outstanding meat loaf recipe and my own Beef Stroganoff recipe. My family loves them all. When my bread machine walked off the counter and crashed and burned. I loved the fresh bread that it made and I haven't replaced it yet.
