This is the living end to me. Don’t waste your time on store bought. Between freshly made and store bought, there’s no comparison. If you try it, take this strong word of advice: GRATE YOUR OWN CHEESE. The preshredded stuff has a funky powder on it that makes for a really bad texture. Many people in the south, like myself, use American cheese from the deli. You just ask them if they have an end piece and buy the chunk. This one isn’t made with American cheese, but I’m pretty sure there’s no bad cheese in existence. #my ookbook

I'm an army brat with a Cajun mother and an Irish dad. I'm married to the love of my life, David, and we have 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren. I've been a barber for 40 years. Im an old fashioned, old school cook and my recipes are basic. I change them up all the time.Since finding out I’m diabetic I’ve had to rearrange old habits. Any recipe I have can be made the old fashioned way OR replaced with lower carb options. Just ask and I’ll tell you what has worked for me.I’m the self proclaimed queen of the leftover. I have issues with leftovers looking back at me with the same sappy look they had the day before. Can’t do it. My super power is turning what I find in my fridge into something I want to eat. I work so much better under pressure. I live for shortcuts and not having to run to the grocery every day. Work with what you have. Adapt and overcome. Also, the less dishes, bowls, and pots I hafta use, the better. Hope some of these recipes work out for ya!
