It’s probably not hard to tell that I like everything having to do with food.  I like to eat it.  I like to watch it on TV (Food Network!).  I like to talk about it (thus, this blog).  I like to read about it.  (I have an extensive collection of cook books.)  And of course, I like to cook it.  I come by my love of food VERY honestly.  I am Southern to the core…..and those of you who are too, will know that we Southerners revolve alot of our lives around food.  In a Southern home, food is always a part of every celebration and every tragedy.  My mom was a fantastic cook.  She was a Home Economics major at the University of Geogia back in the 1950′s.  She took her cooking and entertaining very seriously.  I truly believe that she did not KNOW HOW to fix just one or two side dishes at Christmas dinner (or Thanksgiving or 4th of July, etc).  She definitely came from the school of “more is more”.  I think I got my love of cooking and entertaining from her. 

With all that being said, I am starting a new weekly blog where I will post one of my favorite recipes.  Some will be old family favorites, and some will be newly discovered ones.  Give them a try and then post your comments.  It will be kind of like a virtual dinner party!  And I always LOVE a party!  This first recipe is one of my favorites my mom used to make when I was growing up.  It’s kind of like beef stroganoff with a twist.  Enjoy!
