The Cook

I have always loved to cook.  When I was a little girl, I loved to stand on a chair at the stove and help my mama cook.  My favorite was yam patties.  My grandmother loved to cook and bake.  She was the best.  She always made everything from scratch.  Her chocolate cake was divine.  I think that's where I got my love of cooking.

1 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
