Even though I enjoy the process, I don’t find myself in the kitchen as often as I’d like to see myself there.  As a matter of fact, sometimes it takes someone placing a special request for me to really cook… like this past weekend when my aunt asked me to make dessert for a shin-dig she was throwing.  Well, I pulled out the Kitchen Aid and got to work making a pineapple upside down cake and strawberry cupcakes with a banana frosting and some with a strawberry/raspberry frosting.  Both desserts were hits – thank you Lord!!!  Man, when you bake, there is not a large margin for error.  Anyway, my own hunger and cheapness motivated me to cook on Thursday night when I made turkey chops, greens, cornbread, and mashed potatoes.  Every so often, I must pay tribute to my southern roots!  See images below!
