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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Today is the first day of school for my grandson. Wanting to make an easy eat and run nourishing treat for a growing boy- led me to this recipe for Dried-Fruit and Nut Health Bars.

I am pleased to say that [...]
Oven buttered corn fingers is one of those recipes that lingers with you as you move from childhood to adulthood, never forgetting how wonderful they were when you found your mom taking them warm out of the oven. Not only were they extraordinary by themselves but they also signaled a good dinner to accompany them. [...]
This is one of those recipes that caused a great deal of excitement in my kitchen. Not only did it give me license to buy more than my share of “pie” pumpkins- but it also gave me license to use pumpkin as an ingredient in Southern cooking.
It seems my beliefs that pumpkins are a Yankee creation and [...]
My computer has been down since Tuesday morning, so I have been away from my site and yours for these past days. It is odd to be gone so long, and I feel as if I have missed your comings and goings and what you have been cooking. But I am back tonight for a [...]
As the summer bounty of fruits and vegetables are slowly coming to an end. I find myself preparing as many dishes as I can, cooking and baking with my favorites. I also find myself, continuing to schlepp my bags back and forth to work even though it is too hot to schlepp anything except myself [...]
