I started cooking when I was about 12 and haven’t stopped. I am self-taught and my grandma is my go-to for any and all cooking and baking questions.  I love trying new recipes and average about 2 a week—I will try anything once. Recently I started coming up with my own recipes—some have been really yummy and some I won’t be making again. Sometimes I think I should be from the South, I love feeding people and love the question, "What’s for dinner?"
