I'm a retired Canadian living down south with my American Husband who is from Alabama. We reside in charlotte NC and I love it down here. Being a person who loves to walk out doors with our 4 legged son Hammie (Lasso), the weather here is perfect. My husband & I do the gym 3-4 times weekly,to help keep fit & healthy. Just starting to get back into the cooking & baking since retired. My husband being southern loves food. I'm not real crative but am trying to change. I cook mostly rice,pasta,or potatoe casserole dishes. Or also crock pot cooking. They are good for a couple day dinners. He does all the bbq and is awesome. I have problems with drying the meat when cooking it. His is always moist. But I'm hopeing to get better. I also like to bake. So started again. Make cookies and bannana breads. Want to make pies again. I use to make awesome pies way back. Baking was my favorite. I'm looking forward to branching out and trying some of the great recipies on this site.
