Who Am I?

Hello! I am Shauntra Maddison, Louisiana/Texas girl who loves to cook! I call myself a Creole Texan since I get the best of both worlds whenever it comes to southern cooking. I get the creole Cajun flare from Louisiana and the comfort Texan cuisine from the Lone Star state. I have always had a passion for cooking. It all stems down from my beautiful mother, my angel, may she rest in peace. As a young child, my mother always had me in the kitchen. While my other cousins got to lay around and play during Thanksgiving, I was up early cooking in the kitchen. Cooking always allowed me to be creative with the taste and the look. Honestly, you eat with your eyes so I always made sure my food looked appealing.

From 9-5, I am a Tax Auditor but I decided to put more energy into what I love doing, cooking. Its funny how I can cook you a delicious meal and prepare your Tax Returns at the same time!!! Now that I am married with a daughter of my own, I am making sure to pass on all of my recipes and techniques to my daughter, who is currently obsessed with the new cooking trends on TikTok.

I don’t limit myself to one style of cooking, I cook for my taste buds. You will see different foods with my creativity added to it. Thank you for allowing me to take you on my cooking rollercoaster!!!
