About This Ole Mom Blog
I created This Ole Mom Blog as a way for me to document and share all the recipes I make for my family, friends, and for my youngest son, who is a very picky eater.
Over time This Ole Mom has blossomed into a place that receives thousands of visitors a day, which has inspired me to share all things I love and create with all of you.
About Kim
My name is Kim. I’m a proud mom of one fifteen-year old and two adult children. I live in South Louisiana near New Orleans with my husband, our youngest son, and our fur baby, Ginger.
My love for food is inspired by my grandmothers, who always grew gardens and had home-cooked meals on the dinner table. They both shared their passion for our Cajun and Spanish heritage and their love for cooking with me, especially Cajun and Creole food.
Though I miss both my grandmother’s cooking, my maw-maw always cooked her food from scratch. She made the best homemade biscuits, black-eyed peas, oxtail stew, turnip greens, smothered pigs’ feet, collard greens, and creole gumbo. The only food I complained about eating that she cooked was tripe and cow’s tongue!
Sadly, I have forgotten how to make a few of my grandmother’s dishes, and the ones I remember, I have changed them up slightly to make them easier to duplicate. Also, as a homeschool mom lacking extra time, I know the importance of having easy recipes to fix for dinner. That’s the reason I try to make my recipes family-friendly and easy to follow, like casseroles, one-pot meals, and Instant Pot recipes.
