In honor of my Mother's memory

                                                       April 20, 1942 - January 21, 2001

My cooking has been inspired by my mother. My mother cooked everyday, she always knew what she was going to cook before hand. Everything my mother cooked was homemade, never from the box unless you count a box of Duncan Hines Brownie mix. Well lets just say, her food was so good our friends in the neighborhood hung out at our house alot. Even my mother's sister's would stroll by just to see what their big sister was cooking. I remember family that lived near by, would come by on foot just to get a taste of my mother's food. I must say, my mother was a great cook, and I learned by watching her. My mother never measured, nor do I. Many have asked me to start a food blog, well here it is my first. I'm new at this, and plan to inhance my blog as time allows. I hope you enjoy my food pictures and recipes, for those of you who may try the recipes send me some feedback. I would love to hear from you, please leave me a comment. Who knows one day that Restaurant or Cookbook or both may soon come to pass, a nice way to honor my mother's legacy she left with me.

My mother and father, enjoying the family down in Atlanta, Ga in July 1999. Gary, my husband fixing his plate of some of the best food ever! My mother knew how to make her guest happy and satisfied every time! She's smiling in this picture, that's how you saw her all the time, just smiling away:) We had great times together in the kitchen, and around the table! Those times will never be forgotten!!
