Holy time flew by batman!!! LOL I've been meaning to post and then well if you haven't figured out by the title of this blog time is a struggle for me lol but I'm going to try and post more often, so yeah lucky for you you'll get more of me and all this hotmess mom goodness lol  So today's post is all about dinner and how I cooked and made it, I'm going to a pologize right now, I cook like my Gfunk  (grandmother who was too funky to be called grandma lol) did, no measuring just a dash of this, mixing together and adding til it tastes right, I used to curse her when I needed a recipe of hers because she would say just a dash of this, in fact, for my wedding I requested just a cookbook of hers that had specific measurements lol.

Hey guys! Just wanted to drop a note and give you the short version about me.
