RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a 33 year old stay at home mom (right now) of three great kids. I've been married for 16 years to the same great guy and we have a wonderful life together. Our kids are our pride and joy. We have one son and two daughters and they all keep us quite busy at times!! We live in the great state of Alabama and cooking is one of my favorite things. I love to cook for my family and experiment with new recipes. I love good ole country cooking like grandma used to make. I come from a long line of 'great' cooks and have tons of recipes from my mom and grandmothers that I enjoy sharing with my own kids and husband. My favorite cookbooks are those that belonged to my mom and her mom, most of the pages are battered and torn and I'm trying really hard to get these in new pages and on disks for my own two precious girls. Besides cooking, my passion lies in Scrapbooking! I just love scrapbooking and have a fortune invested in it...lol. (All of you scrappers know what I mean) This is one of the best hobbies I know, because I get to take the most important people in my life and compile books about our life together. I would love to do the scrapbooking retreats, but with little ones...it's hard! aw...but one day.....
