Hi, I live in Georgia. I love to cook so when I found this site I thought I was in recipe heaven!! I love to collect old cookbooks. I seem to work more than being at home. The meals I cook are quick and easy as well as different.
On Sundays, I try to cook a sit down southern meal. Oh yeah, the only thing I "HATE" about cooking is cleaning up!!
