I’m not a gifted chef, cook, or baker but I love food! Lasagna, fried catfish, fried okra, sushi, chocolate cake…I can go on for a while.
In my 20s and early 30s, I was notorious for being a take-out/fast-food queen but as I’ve gotten older that changed. An old friend of mine once said, “Once you have kids, you’ll need to.”
Well, fast forward 10 yrs later, no kids but a desire to cook and bake my own food. I haven’t created my own recipes yet but I’ve found some amazing ones. I’ve been able to make these dishes over and over again with delicious results each time. Check ’em out below:
