Welcome to Mom's Kitchen |
My Mom is oringinally from Louisiana, although she has lived most of her adult life in Texas. She never really learned how to cook "cajun style" But she sure knows Martha Stewart's style. Over the years she has made some of the most delectible dishes you have ever tasted. One of my favorites is her chocolate sheet cake. She loves to make a cake, and while it's still hot, eat a piece right out of the oven with a good cup of coffee. |
