about me

I enjoy baking and cooking but not as much as I enjoy eating! The aroma, texture and of course taste. I enjoy eating out less and less and much prefer to eat at home.

I get a huge kick to be able to grow and preserve my own food, just learning to home can in 2008.

One of my favorite cookbooks is an older version of Southern Living, but I try quite of bit of new recipes from their magazine and website as well as others. I love regional and church cookbooks...you find some tasty old reicpes not found in commercial cookbooks.

Not sure if I'm "famous" for any particular dish but famous for making it homemade. Whether it's vanilla, bread crumbs, ice cream...it's most likely from scratch. Even made cheese...once. If only I had my own water buffalow, cow or goat!

Favorite Foods:

My favorite foods are spicey. Indian, tex-mex, southwest and asian.

As far as favorite restaurant? I really don't have one. I've been to a handful of outstanding places over the years but they are not near my location. If I go out to eat, I prefer to eat dishes that are a bit of a pain to make at home...but usually decide it's worth the effort to do so, next time.
