Cooking in the Florida Heat

Those that know me know that I love to cook, love to eat and love to share what I create with others! When possible I like to grow what I cook myself. This kitchen uses locally grown organic fruits and vegetables and we cook and bake from scratch. Come along with me on a delicious adventure in the kitchen and together we'll be Cooking in the Florida Heat! *** Click the Recipe name to view it.
