Peas and Greens Soup

January 10, 2012

Facebook is such an incredible thing. The brainchild of some wonderfully bright college students, it has grown in just a few years into the major social media site on the internet today. Facebook is great for keeping up with all the comings and goings of your family and friends, but what I like best is [...]

Braised Cabbage

October 20, 2011

Pin It I admit that this is not the most beautiful recipe I’ve ever posted. And it’s certainly far from being complicated. So, you’re wondering, why are you posting this Braised Cabbage? For one reason only – because it’s delicious! Cabbage is one of those lowly vegetables that people tend to overlook in the produce [...]

Hoppin’ John {Secret Recipe Club}

August 29, 2011

When I got my assignment for this month’s Secret Recipe Club, I have to admit that my first thought was, “Oh, my gosh. What in the world am I going to do with this? ” That’s because my assigned blog was called We Heart Vegan and as y’all know I’m about as opposite from a [...]

Brunswick Stew

February 22, 2011

If there was a list somewhere of iconic Southern recipes, somewhere near the top of that list would be Brunswick Stew. It is part-and-parcel of any Southern cook’s repertoire although its origins are somewhat murky. Of course, Brunswick, Georgia, claims bragging rights on the delicious recipe as does Brunswick County, Virginia. Who really knows where [...]

But today, since everybody is really tired of turkey, I’m going to share my method of cooking pulled pork. You know what pulled pork is, right? Yep, it’s just a [...]

The side dishes may change. The desserts may be varied. But there is always, always turkey and dressing on the menu. Of course, I know that there [...]

Cheesy Chili Cornbread

November 10, 2010

Last weekend we saw the coldest weather we’ve had yet this Fall. Sunday morning dawned bright, thanks to the return of Eastern Standard Time, but cold! 29 degrees! Brrrr. It was definitely a day for something warm and comforting from the kitchen. It didn’t take long to decide that our comfort food for the evening [...]
