My mom had over 50 years of experience in the stove and would make magic happen everytime. She made it look so easy! However you didn't want to be in her way. You didn't run in nor out of her kitchen while cooking. Debbie had a process and you dare not ruin it. She would cook enough for an army and she would feed anyone. She didn't believe in anyone going hungry. You can tell by my appearance throughout the years that I certainly didn't. All jokes aside, we always had a meal on the table and a snack after school and she cooked every Sunday and holiday for a number of years.
Debbie's specialities included her biscuits, vegetable soup, cornbread, meatloaf, roast, baked chicken, fried chicken, turkey and dressing, Mac n cheese, pork chops, ribs, sweet tea, grits, sausage gravy, beans of any kind, greens, okra, greens, cookies of various types, cakes and chicken/turkey salad.
Debbie Lanier's cooking was both her love language and legacy. She would provide you a hot country meal if she couldn't give you anything else.
