Yesterday afternoon my throat started getting a little scratchy and by last night I was feeling pretty rough. This morning I’m rallying but still not 100 percent and it’s very cloudy outside. I cleaned out the fridge this morning in an effort to make a grocery list and there was a bag of celery and …
When I first began cooking, my potato soup consisted of boiling a potato and onions and mashing them and adding salt and pepper. I have come along way since then. The one thing you need to know about me is that I have never met a potato I did not like. The second thing you …
If you are from the south, then you grew up eating cornbread at almost every meal. I had two grandmothers, Memaw Young and Nannie Logan. They were both excellent cooks and had very different recipes for cornbread. Memaw’s Cornbread is more traditionally southern, more of a “poor man’s bread” with no eggs or flour, just …

I love a good summer salad and this one hits all the marks. Cool, sweet, salty- all the feels. And just the right amount of acid. I would serve this on its own or with a nice piece of salmon or chicken, but it will go with absolutely anything. I prefer to buy the block …

Southerns love to pickle anything out of the garden and I am no exception. This was a quick pickle recipe I threw together last week and I loved it so much, I am sharing it with you! Quick pickles require no preservation method (pressure canning or water bath), they simply go in the fridge to …
This hits all the notes- salty, sweet, spicy, savory. It works best with “jammy” eggs. Of course, it is your kitchen, your rules and you can have any degree of boiled eggs you like. I recommend large eggs for this recipe and if your eggs are refrigerated, you will need to boil them for 7 …

I have never made the same chili twice. I always start with this standard recipe and build from there. Other things I may or may not throw in: red enchilada sauce, Rotel tomatoes, salsa, chipotle peppers, cajun sausage, ground pork, onion, bell pepper, jalapeno peppers, crushed tomatoes, and as you can see, the list can …
