Hi all, I am Kay Green Smith and I want to invite you all to join me in sharing recipes. I have accumulated recipes from all over the world the last 40 years and I would like to share some of the best with you. So let’s have a conversation about my favorite topic: Food!

I have worked in the nonprofit world my entire career but as a side hobby I have a serious passion for cooking. For many years I was part of a luncheon club of ladies who experimented with all kinds of recipes. We hosted dinner parties, luncheons, birthday parties and shared holidays to try out new, trendy recipes (we’ll not mention all of those).

There is no mistaking me for Rachael Ray or Emeril Lagasse, but I hope to bring you some interesting recipes that you can enjoy this fall.

Here we are, once again about to enter the most anticipated time of year for many North East Texans….FOOTBALL SEASON. Tailgating, smoke rising, horns honking, fans wearing their favorite game day apparel, signs, painted cars and everyone has talked to at least one other “fan” of the big upcoming game of the week. Opponents have been scouted, plays have been rehearsed on the field, players have eaten right, hydrated themselves and they have been led in cheers, pumped up to greatness by their coaches and they stand ready to take the field.
