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 …
This recipe came about because I love a good, moist cake. Tres Leche, which translates into “three milks”, is the most wet, moist cake you will find. I am not a fan of the traditional Tres Leche cake because I am not a fan of cinnamon. I know that is shocking, but I literally hate …
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 …

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 …
Mashed potatoes is a southern staple. Let your heart lead you with the amount of butter you choose. Potato disclaimer: I don’t peel potatoes. Life is short. I use yellow/gold potatoes, or Yukon potatoes because the skins are very thin and just melt into the dish. Draining the potatoes and garlic well after boiling is …
I have never met a green I didn’t like, however I was late to the kale train. But now I love it so much, I try to find ways to incorporate it into dishes. There is a simple trick to tone down the bitterness- a quick massage. Just throw your kale into a bowl and …
