I'm a transplant, from South Mississippi all the way to Southern Oregon. I'm wife to a wonderful firefighter and Mama to two awesome kids. I like to cook, but I'm easily bored, so I rarely make things over and over again. Baking is my specialty! Chocolate Decadence Pie, sweets of all kinds, southern fried chicken, taco salad (easy and quick for the hubby's late nights at the fire department!), breads, and stir fry. I'm a baker at heart. I've sold baked goods to support myself in the past. The Sweet Potato Casserole from right here was SO GOOD, I now have to make it at all family holiday dinners. The best thing I ever got from my mother-in-law (other than my hubby!) was her dressing recipe. I bake the bread for it, no stuffing mix for me! I can't get my oven level here! I'm tired of everything coming out lop-sided! lol EDIT: Since moving to a brand new, beautiful apartment, my only cooking tragedy is lack of space!
