I'm a Southern Gal ... Georgia born and raised. I have 3 wonderful grown children and 4 totally delightful g-babes (they call me Ya-ya).
I love to cook and try new dishes. I am mostly a So. Ga. country cook hough I refuse to deep fry anything. Instead, I oven fry a good bit and mostly I bake.
I just bought myself a bread machine (found it brand new ... never been opened ... at a Goodwill store for only $24.00 !!! Good deal! The recipes in the booklet were awful so I searched for more and found, not only a great roll recipe, but I also discovered the wonderful world of RecipeZaar!
I do believe I am really going to like this place!
