About me
Hi, my name is Debbie, or Deb for short. I grew up as a Navy brat and moved around a bit but finally the family settled in Louisiana where I still remain today. As a child, I enjoyed eating peas almost everyday as part of my after school snack, and believe it or not they are still my favorite(just not as often)! Although my beginning culinary skills only included opening and heating a can of peas, I have evolved quite a bit , I can't say I am an expert because I feel there is always more to learn and experience! I enjoy cooking and especially enjoy finding short cuts to great cooking. Besides cooking, Family is very important to me. I have two beautiful (grown)children, both married to wonderful spouse and both share my love of cooking . I am also grandmother to 7 wonderful grandchildren which keep me very busy. I enjoy socializing with friends when I am not working with learning disabled children or doing part time catering. I also enjoy being involved with the community and with my school. I am a member of the Slidell Chapter of Junior Auxiliaries which keeps me busy but I enjoy very much. My favorite things to do in my spare time(when I have spare time) are writing poetry and making up my own recipes (or redesigning favorite recipes or foods that I enjoy). Most of the recipes I will post will be my own. On occasion, I might post recipes that I find are perfect as they are. I look forward to visiting with my new friends on this site and sharing laughs, tips, and great recipes!
