I grew up in central Florida. My parents moved my brother and I to Missouri in about 1979. Oh how I miss it! In fact, lately I miss it so much that each night when I go to bed I can picture waking there and what my day would be like. I can almost feel the warm breeze on my face and the sand beneath my bare feet. I thought surely by this age in my life, I would be able to be there more often than I am. But, life happens and air fare is terribly expensive lately so I wait...and I wait.. on the day that I can return and feel the lush grass in my Aunt Donna's yard, see the moss swaying in the trees, smell the sweet orange blossoms, and eat some of that wonderful, fresh food that I grew up with. But, until I can do those things, I can cook the tastes of Florida that take me back... I grew up eating lots of fresh vegetables, like conch peas, yellow squash, sweet corn, and I think we had sliced tomatoes with just about every meal. ...
This is how I do it AT HOME MY WAY!
