My mom was born in the small town of McRae, Georgia. She met my dad at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store, where she got her first job. Her father was the town butcher, and she inherited his love for cooking. This early connection to food and family traditions significantly shaped her life and our family's culinary heritage.
