Hello everyone! I am from the lovely state of Alabama. I love to spend time with my family, hunt, fish, read, and swim. I am 29 years old, and I have been married for 7 years to my high school sweetheart. We also welcomed a baby boy into our home on August 11, 2006. His name is Brayden and he is my life and my heart. It has definitely been a change - but a good one.
As a new bride and beginner cook, I looked to recipe websites for help and stumbled upon Recipezaar. I love this place!! I am all for any kind of comfort food, such as collards, Mexican cornbread, etc. I love the Calling All Cooks cookbooks, because they have several Southern and different recipes.
