I LOVE cooking. It's one of the things I learned during my childhood when I hung out with my grandmother so much. She would make everything from scratch. I never once saw a box of anything "pre-made" in her kitchen. It was so much fun to help her make cornbread, batter chicken and especially help with her Red Velvet cake.
We would cook and cook and be in the kitchen all day. It was so much fun to me.
Now I'm passing that love of cooking down to Emma. She's around the age I was when I started cooking with Grandmother. I'm so happy that she wants to learn :-) Makes me tear up a little because it reminds me of my grandmother and the special times that we had.
Today we made Blue Cheese and Fig Tartlets. Only she and I liked them turns out-but we didn't care ;-) Tonight we are making Parmesean Crusted Chicken and veggies and salad. YUM! Tomorrow it's pot roast and I'm going to have her help me make Yorkshire Pudding too.
And of course there's plenty of my homemade sweet tea to go around too....
