My favorite food to cook is Italian and Southern Style or "Soul Food". I love to cook.... Cleaning up after, not so much!! I owe what I know in the kitchen to 3 important women in my life, my mom (love and miss you mama) , my mother-in-law and my Granny Drunell (how we miss you too!!!) Granny Drunell is actually my husband's grandma, but she was just one of those souls that makes everybody feel as if they were one of her children or grand childlren. She was probably the best cook I knew... Followed closely by my other 2 mentors. I don't know what I would've done if it weren't for these wonderful women, mothers, grandmothers.... Who were some of the best cooks ever!!! I might not be as good as any of them but hopefully with age, experience and what they taught me I will someday be n their level!!
