I'm a Jackson native, love it to death! I love fresh foods, and grew up loving fresh fruit and veggies. I still do! Whenever I cook, I try to not make it too unhealthy but still taste great. I love cooking, and working out, and making all sorts of stuff, and throwing parties! My family is quite supportive of my cooking and always tries, and says they enjoy, my dishes. I love cooking desserts, especially freezing ice creams. I made up an apple pie/crisp recipe and that's been a hit in the fall. I really like fruit, frozen yogurt, veggies, recently tofu, fish, pork, chicken, most everything.
