I love to cook and eat. And sometimes there are things that I want and I know I just can't go out and buy it. It just has to be home cooked. So that’s where I come in. We will cook and have you a pro in no time. With fun doing it. As they say I got it from my momma!!!!!

My SIL has been cooking this dish in her cast-iron skillet led faucet, a skillet I desperately need to get for myself, but keep forgetting too. I hear the Lodge brand is the best, do any of you have a cast-iron skillet you love?
