I am just a small home town girl that has owned and operated a Convenient Store for the past 33 years with my husband. We make fresh made pizzas, we have a large deli and we also have a catering business. My husband and I also have a BBQ team in which we have competed for the last 10 years. I love to cook mainly because I love to make people happy with food!
