About Me

I'm originally from Georgia but now live in North Carolina. I'm a mother of 3 and grandmother of 6. I decided to write my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat when my oldest daughter told me that if I did nothing else before I died, would I at least write down my recipe for Banana Puddin. I had no "formal" recipe. It was all in my head. I made my Puddin and measured as I went along, which wasn't an easy task. But that one recipe was the beginning of my becoming a published author with my book Stir, Laugh, Repeat.

Happiness is not an elusive bird, perched high near the ceiling, which, with the help of more or less complicated ladders, you have to work to catch. Happiness is an element, which, like air, is everywhere.

�Jacques Henri Lartigue

I recently ordered your cookbook �Stir, Laugh, Repeat� and it came in the mail yesterday. I sat down last night to glance at it and couldn�t put it down�.I read it from cover to cover!

I loved the format and all of the stories you added on each page just put a special touch to the book. After reading it, I feel like I really know you and your family. I know your sons-in-law are Yankees, you are a lover of cheese, but you dislike chocolate�well not all chocolate..you have a weakness for white chocolate and I would venture to guess that you never take yourself too seriously. I also loved the fact that you use every day ingredients and don�t mind admitting that you and cakes do not have a love affair. It was such an easy and enjoyable read. I will be waiting for the second book which I understand is now in the works.

I have some pages marked for things that will be first on my list to try. One of them is the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Mini Pies on Page 144. This will be a great addition to a brunch and it is so simple. It made me wonder��now why hadn�t I thought about that?� Another recipe I definitely have to try is the Cracker Bars on Page73 and I may do a �Martha trick� and use regular chocolate instead of white chocolate. I could mention several others, but I think you have the idea that I really am enjoying Stir, Laugh, Repeat.
