I realize that it is not summer yet, but then by the time I got around to sharing this recipe with you  last year-summer was over. So this year, I decided to get a jump on things and share this incredible easy and delicious way to harvest fresh veggies before they go out of season.

This is the second time making this rich buttery cake. The first time I took a bold risk and made mini egg shaped cakes. It was bold because I hadn’t done a trial run on the recipe, and delivery for an Easter wedding left me no time for a redo. But, I must say that [...]

Grits are fabulous, and for those that think otherwise-this dish is for you.  This is the turn-a- round dish that will convert even the most ardent grit detester. Yes, there are a few of those around much to my dismay.

But really, how could anyone protest when eating a light fluffy moist dish-loaded with aged cheddar, [...]

What do you do when a Southern girl tells you that her favorite birthday cake isn’t the cherished Southern Coconut Cake but instead she would prefer Boston Cream Pie instead?
Well, I am all about having your favorite for your birthday so I promised to come through with a fabulous Boston Cream Pie. I am from [...]

Sally Lunn Bread has been on my “To Bake” list for quite some time. Actually it was so simple to make that I regret putting it off for so long. The dough is soft as it is laden with butter and eggs and promises to be a treat. I almost always can tell how [...]

The party [...]

Right after Christmas I took a road trip to New England to visit family for the New Year.  We were welcomed by tons of snow and blustery cold days and of course lots of great food.  Coming down with a cold upon arriving has left me tired and worn, but I always manage to perk [...]

When holidays approach the requests are voiced just in case. In case what I often wonder. In case I forget to make the favorite dishes and baked food, which I have never forgotten to make every Christmas season.
I failed to share this recipe last season and vowed to include this Christmas Yeast Bread early on-so [...]

This is the second time that I have shared a meal with you and left you high and dry to find the recipe yourself. My apologies before we get started for this gross negligence. Frankly, I am doing you a favor. If you have any desire to make these savory tarts, then you should buy [...]

Though this recipe is not a traditional Southern food, it certainly has its place in the Southern kitchen. As much as biscuits are adored, having a change of pace is needed. So many Southern dishes scream for a good loaf of crusty country bread.

I adore this bread and have been making it for over 25 [...]
