I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
Some of you might know that Arkansas invented fried pickles, chocolate gravy, and cheese dip. Yum! But did you know that possum pie was also invented in this state? Yes, that yummy, layered goodness that tickles all the right taste buds was first created in your backyard. And you can grab a slice of this iconic pie at Old South Restaurant In Russellville.
