This post has been a long time coming this week. I have a new daily schedule which includes 8 to 10 hours at a new job. Despite my petitions to the Office Angel in Heaven after the Gingerbread Lady passover, apparently my file has been put in another folder, mis-filed again or simply overlooked. [...]
Realising that I am rushing the corn season, I still went ahead and made this Corn Pudding. It is known as a true Southern delicacy, and I can see why. Our local corn won’t be at the market till the middle of June, but the corn from Florida looked good and how could I resist? [...]
When I think of Summertime desserts, the first thing that comes to mind is a Cobbler. I grew up eating Cobblers, though the version I am used to is different than the Southern version. To me the difference is not so much in the way the fruit is prepared, but in the way the top [...]

A cool windy spring day is the quintessential accompaniment to these Small Cakes along with a cup of hot tea or coffee. I have had my eye on these cakes for quite some time now, and only yesterday decided to make them at the spur of the moment. My house was filled with the warm [...]
It is only March and I have already made my first batch of preserves from freshly picked fruit. Yep, fifteen 8 oz jars in total. Eight of which are proudly displayed in my pantry. This is a sign to me that I am going to have a good year; the crops are coming in, and [...]
What could I have possibly been thinking by ignoring Crispy Buttermilk Biscuits and Sugared Bacon all these years? I must have been out of my mind, well before menapause set in I confess. Thank God I have come to my senses.
Wanting to start off this chapter of my life with something special. I decided I [...]
Southern Baked Eggs with Cream & Bacon are on the menu today for Sunday Brunch. For clarity A Yankee in a Southern Kitchen post was written almost two weeks ago when the circumstances in my life were much different than they are today. That being said, I am most grateful for the early morning wake-up [...]
