"I came across this recipe in a casserole magazine and it became a staple at our house quickly. I have experimented with vegetables like zuchinis and different colored bell peppers, and it came out wonderfully, so don't be afraid to try something different in the place of these veggies if it sounds good."

follower of Christ, daughter and sister, wife and godmother, cousin and friend, radio personality and news junkie. I graduated from the University of North Alabama (ROAR LIONS!) in 2006, and my husband and I love the Shoals. We've also lived in Huntsville which is a wonderful place, and we were born and raised in Bham. I became more domestic after I got married (as usually happens), but I have always had a love for cooking. Being raised on good food will make you that way - my mother is one of those people who can throw something together and it tastes great and both of my grandmothers had a wonderful repertoire of dishes. My hope is that one day, with years of experience like they have, my food will be a comfort to my family as theirs always was.
