I do NOT buy expensive spices, or ingredients I can not pronounce. It’s not that I do not like some of these things, but when I have to choose between a $10.00 bottle of an imported spice, or two gallons of gas, I will pick the gas every time.

I was born and raised in the northern most mid-west. I love the foods of that area. Somehow, I ended up in the Carolinas, married a country man, and HE likes southern food. Although he now enjoys many of my northern favorites, I still fix his “special” dishes only they have been modified to fit our healthy life style and my grocery budget.

I will also write about my country boy’s antics. His heavy southern accent and some of our daily woes. I hope I can make you smile and come back again and again.
