About

I'm originally from GA now in NC.  I love to read and cook.  I have tons of cookbooks but can never find anything to cook.  The recipes either have ingredients that would require a trip to the specialty section of the grocery store or would have an ingredient I really didn't like.  Plus, some were just simply too complicated.  So I started creating my own recipes by taking from one and adding from another.  My recipes take cooking back to the basics using common ingredients with the results being very tasty and beautiful dishes.  I also offer ingredient changes to fit the cooks own taste.

Story Behind The Book

When my daughter told me that if I did nothing else in my life would I please write down my recipe for Banana Puddin and my other daughter told me she couldn't bring deviled eggs to Thanksgiving dinner because she couldn't peel the eggs without tearing up the eggs, I decided it was time to start measuring my recipes, write them down and add a few tips to help my daughters with their cooking. As I went along, I started remembering cooking events from my childhood and even adulthood, so I decided to add those to my list of recipes too. Stir, Laugh, Repeat was originally written for my kids only but when a friend proofread my work she insisted that I needed to share not just my recipes but my cooking mistake stories with others. She insisted that it was that great. Next came the search for a publisher. With my friend's help, I went to the internet in search of a publisher that would be interested in my book. The first publisher I came across was Tate Publishing. They wanted to read my manuscript. About a month later they sent my contract. I was now on my way to becoming something I had never dreamed of being, a Published Author. And I'm loving every minute.
