I am a transplant to the Deep South from the Great State of Iowa. I am a housewife who loves to go cook, backpack, and garden. There are three gardens at my house and I enjoy tending to them all. There is something spectacular about growing your own food. My favorite cookbook would have to be "The Joy of Cooking." Whenever I need to know the basics of a recipe or skill I check there. Other than that I love to read recipes wherever I can find them and have a very creative mind. I have a degree in English and spend large amounts of my time reading and writing, yet...I love to cook. :)
