RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Loretta in Louisiana
West Monroe, 57
<p>I live in Louisiana and love all the southern foods. I love to fish, read, play pool, ride horses, and of course cook. I love to collect cookbooks of all kinds. This is one of many wonderful gifts that I got from my mom. <br /><br />My children are grown and my husband works off, therefore I cook for myself, my 2 dogs, Buddy and Missy, and my African Grey, Shady. <br /><br />I have 4 wonderful grandchildren,Haley, Mariah and Kodie Grace and finally a new grandson Tuff . <br />I enjoy trying new recipes and try them out on my family and friends. <br /><br />My health hasn't been good for awhile, so I have spent a lot of the time at home,not doing the things that I like to do. I am not one to sit or lay around. I haven't been able to stand for long periods of time and have been in a funk. I have just hopefully went through my last surgery and I can get back to walking, doing yard work and cooking for my family. I just can't wait to feel good about myself again and get myself back into shape. <br />I found it amazing how quick age slips up on you. <br />I am now going to enter some to the cooking contest again and I just can't wait. I can't believe the time that has passed since I was in the last cooking contest. I sure have missed it but I am back. Can't wait to catch up with all that I have missed... <br /><br />Glad to be in the Recipezaar family. <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/GrassTree-1-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Pohutukawa-1-1.jpg alt= /></p>
