Home Cooking

Cooking is a passion of mine, as some of you may know. There is nothing better than bringing everyone together for Thanksgiving dinner. Or throwing a slab of ribs on a charcoal grill at 10:00 am on an October Saturday morning in the shadow of Neyland Stadium with some of your buddies. Thankfully I was taught by some of the best. My family has a special way to bring everyone together over a meal. Recently my mother and sister were fortunate enough to have receipts selected for Trisha Yearwood's second cook book "Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood: Stories and Recipes to Share with Family and Friends" through my Aunt Beth (mothers sister-in-law), Trisha's sister. A previous recipet of my mother can be found in "Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen: Recipes from My Family to Yours".



I am slightly jealous nothing of my own was selected but, proud of my roots none the less. Below is one of my own submissions for the cook book... when made, it seems to generate a warm reception.
