RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a 55 year old female. Born and raised in the south. I am married and have three grown children and one granddaughter and my best friend Chewy,a toy yorkie. I love Carolina basketball. camping and reading.
I have been cooking since I was able to reach the counter, cooking my first meal at the age of 10. My mother and grandmother taught me the southern ways. I don't measure much (neither did they) so if you try my recipes, take that into consideration.
I am a three time cancer survivor and hope to finally get my recipes together in one spot for family and friends before my luck runs out. Hope you and your family enjoys them as much as mine has.
