Cheryl's Back

I started a food blog years ago and because of a bad life turn I stopped being Cheryl. I stopped cooking and writing. Now I am going to start writing in my blog again about what I love. Good food.

I love it when I have my kids or other family members over or friends and cook for them. My grandmother was just like that, She showed us love by cooking for us.. When we use to go visit her she would wake up at 5 A.M. and start cooking while we were asleep. She would start her homemade sausage to cook that had been cured and hung out for days. She would make everyone just what they loved.

My brother and sister had her slow cooked oatmeal and my parents had her homemade sausage, eggs and her homemade country biscuits and gravy! I would have what I now think of as the best thing. Her homemade bread made into French toast with her homemade strawberry jam with berries from her garden!!!

My grandparents always had a garden where all the veggies were fresh and wonderful. It was a mini farm! I use to just watch her cook for hours and I would pull up a chair so that I could see the stove and I knew that someday I would be cooking and feeding whoever would eat and I have surrounded myself with food fans! My husband and son and daughters are my number 1 foodies. J As well as my brother, sister and her husband and my friends!

My mother in law was yet another great cook in my life that inspired me. She had magic in everything she cooked. You could not copy her no matter how you tried. She cooked the best Indian and Burmese food.

Have a nice day and whatever you do eat well!!
