Since I was 3, I watched my Granny in the kitchen cooking and baking. This planted a seed in my young mind. I would be at the table just watching with the seasoned aroma of fried chicken, collard greens with smoked meat, baked macaroni and cheese, and cornbread. We won't get started on the many desserts that any palette will appreciate. From soul food to her most famous cakes and pies, she would feed half of her neighbors as well as her family. Then my mother became her protege putting her twist on things. This is when I started to evolve in my own skills. I was cleaning chitterlings before I started dating. I begged my mom to teach me, and this turned into my first stream of income. I was so good that my aunts and friends paid me ten dollars for cleaning each bucket. I've learned a lot from the matriarch's of my family and just like my mom, I've put my own twist on things. Although my Granny didn't get to see my advanced skills, one precious moment was when my mother told me that I should start a bakery before she passed. Whether I go down that road or not, the memory of my mom telling me that I have surpassed her in baking will always warm my heart. So I welcome you to Grannys Kitchen, where it started for me.
