This sistah can cook!!! Before opening her restaurant she had a business where she prepared weekly meals for extremely busy folks, and she would flash freeze them and bring them to your home. So every evening all you had to do was pop one of her loving prepared meals into the oven. She has a special gift for preparing food for people who need to watch their intake of fats and salt, yet want their food to taste just like what their Mothers/ Grandmothers use to make. Without a doubt Sharon is a culinary wonder. I hope all of us will pass the word and support this beautiful sistah as she brings her wonderful talents to our community. -- Brenda Crawford
