RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in the "boonies" and love to entertain family and friends. I have one son, 24, who is unmarried and still comes home as often as he can for some of Mom's cooking! My husband is retired. I can't retire from my teaching career for at least 6 more years, but I'm looking forward to travelling when I do. I have three devilish cats and a shy red hound. I like creating veggie casseroles, as long as I can drown them in cheese! My family and friends are always requesting that I make my shrimp and sausage gumbo for them.
