RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm an experienced home cook who's been cooking since about the age of 11. My favorite foods include... well, I like just about everything (with the exception of liver and other organs). Favorite cuisines include Tex-Mex, Pan-asian and good old Southern cooking. I also enjoy home canning, which is a great source of gifts from the kitchen!
