RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Love to cook and bake and especially if I know a recipe is going to turn out. I'm a old country gal and have to be able to prepare meals with little notice or time. I also enjoy cooking in our hunting camps and enjoy finding recipes that work out well, with few modern conveniences. No matter what the situation is, I enjoy serving a tasty meal. I like homestyle cooking for the most part but on occasion I enjoy serving up a gourmet meal just to let everyone know I appreciate all aspects of "food". I love the outdoors. I enjoy working and playing outside. Unfortunately I can't spend as much time as I would like in the fresh air. I have to work inside.
