Hey y'all! I'm Shana, and I love to cook! I just wanted to start a line of communication for folks who thoroughly enjoy cooking and eating. Hence my new blog! We will discuss anything food: how you prepare your dishes, hints on cooking food, what makes good food taste good, etc. My goal is to share with you everyday meals that regular, middle-class folks can enjoy without breaking the pockets. I used to eat out all of the time, whether it was fine dining or a neighborhood joint. But when I discovered how easy and enjoyable it was to cook at home, I changed all that. I can be as creative or simple as I want to be, and I have really enjoyed it! Through this blog I will share recipes, pictures, and new ideas. My hope is that other bloggers will, too! So, when you make a great-tasting home-cooked meal, please share it with us! Thanks! -Shanabanana:)

  1. Hey Shannon! Cool idea - I love to cook and I try to use fresh ingredients as much as possible. This morning, I took some leftover sauteed veggies (red bell pepper, mushrooms, onion and asparagus) and threw them in the pan with some eggs for a quick veggie scramble. Yum!

    I've found that the most cost-effective way for me to have fresh produce is to skip the grocery store and go to the produce stand across town. Less convenient and not as huge of a selection as Publix, but they are locally grown and SO much less expensive.

  6. I ended up cooking today. your blog hs inspired me. instead of just fried plaintains, my lunch now consist of wild alaskan salmon patty, fried plaintains, white rice , fried onions, mustard greens(just picked) and biscuits(freezer). Most of this stuff I swore off last week when I decided to use a gluten free diet, but I can't just throw it away and how else would I keep up my queenly figure? oh, I forgot, I made gravy also. i asked Pili to take a pic of it so I cld send it 2 u, he refused saying he didn't have time to wait for me to stage it. I think he was jealous of my gravy. He thinks he's the gravy king.
