I am a true Southern Girl born and raised in Middle Tennessee!I grew up around some of the best cooks in the world- My Mom-Teresa Baxter Gafford and My Grannie- Dot Wayman. I learned alot from them about how to cook but when I got older and started cooking on my own, I added my own personal touches. I am a self-proclaimed FOODIE and proud of it. I like to try new spices,recipes and restaurants and share what I learn with my friends. I am on a quest to improve my diet with healthier choices and more cooking by trying a new recipe every week and a new restaurant as often as I can. I hope to be able to take alot of people along for the ride as I blog and share my finds.
