I have always loved to cook. My mom taught be how to cook at a very young age. When I was 10 yrs old, I was cooking meals for 9 kids and 2 adults. Not fancy meals but it was the evening meal of the day so it was significant. 55 yrs later, I still enjoy cooking but I must admit, my palate has changed significantly – for the better. We were raised on Southern foods – meat and vegetables for the most part – so as my palate matured, cheese grits evolved into Cajun Shrimp and Grits, roast beef became Beef Wellington, biscuits became Garlic Rosemary Scones and ………well you get the picture. Yet I still enjoy simple, minimal meals – the kind I grew up on as a kid like Sloppy Joes, Burritos, Meat and Beans over Mashed Potatoes, etc.
I’ll be posting more recipes in the near future but I’ll start you off with my family’s Sloppy Joe recipe for now. Stop back by later to see more.
