Old-Fashioned Southern Teacakes and a Lifetime of Food Memories

March 1, 2011

Everything that I know of childhood comes from one tiny, rural town in Southwest Georgia. Thinking about it today, it seems almost like a fairytale. It was a place where children could roam around the neighborhood playing all day or get on their bikes and ride “uptown” without worry. There was practically no crime at all. People [...]

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 [...]

{Review} Yahoola Creek Grill

February 12, 2011

Shrimp and Grits

January 4, 2011

I’m starting out the new year with a great old Southern classic, Shrimp and Grits, an example of low-country cooking at its absolute best. Using readily available local ingredients to produce something so mouth-watering, so delicious that it almost takes your breath away. Shrimp and Grits is thought to have originated as a breakfast recipe along the Carolina coast. [...]

I’m starting my Thanksgiving menu posts today with that good old southern classic Turkey and Cornbread Dressing. This is always the star of the show at our Thanksgiving dinners. 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 [...]

Chicken Country Captain

November 3, 2010

It’s really hard to beat the classics. And this Chicken Country Captain is a true old South classic. When I tweeted on Saturday afternoon that I was making it, I got a response back from Rebecca of EzraPoundCake saying “You ARE going old-school!” Yes, ma’am. I sure did. And I thoroughly enjoyed it! By the way, [...]

Baked Corn Casserole

July 6, 2010

Summertime in the South comes with a huge variety of fresh produce. Okra, peas of all varieties, butter beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and maybe best of all corn. I’ve had a passion for fresh corn since I was a child. So much so that I can remember stuffing myself with it at the dinner table until [...]
